Lot Information

Lot 1

76 Properties in (predominantly) urban Yorkshire from Sheffield in the South through to Ripon in the North, but mainly in West Yorkshire.

Options: Ad-hoc grounds maintenance works or landscape gardening projects to improve the grounds at any given site.

Renewal: Provided the KPI's have been met, the contract has the option to extend, by mutual agreement, a maximum of twice, each time for 36 months.

Lot 2

2 properties very distant from the properties in Lot 1. These properties are in Settle and Ingleton on far west of North Yorkshire. Market engagement indicated that many contractors would be unable to service these and therefore if the contract was offered as a single lot they would not bid.

Options: Ad-hoc grounds maintenance works or landscape gardening projects to improve the grounds at any given site.

Renewal: Provided the KPI's have been met, the contract has the option to extend, by mutual agreement, a maximum of twice, each time for 36 months.

Lot 1contains 76 of the 78 properties, whilst Lot 2 contains just 2 properties situated in Settle and Ingleton. SACS recognise that the properties in Lot 2 are located a significant distance from the rest of the properties to be serviced under the contract and have therefore made bidding for Lot 2 optional. Contractors MUST tender for Lot 1; it is a condition of participation in the ITT. We recognise that the 2 schemes in Lot 2 are geographically very distant from the Lot 1 properties. Therefore, bidding on Lot 2 is entirely optional. We will Score Lot 1 for both quality & price and rank contractors in order, and only then will we evaluate Lot 2 pricing. In the event that the 2 most advantageous tenders for Lot 1 do not submit Lot 2 pricing we will not evaluate Lot 2 pricing, we will procure the Lot 2 services independent of this ITT."
