This procurement process, now at the tender stage, covers cleaning services in sheltered housing meeting halls, extra care housing meeting halls, and communal areas within flat blocks, along with ad-hoc tasks such as graffiti removal and deep cleaning. The tender is split into three Lots: Lot 1 for communal cleaning in meeting halls and extra care schemes, and Lots 2 and 3 each covering 50% of the geographical areas for communal cleaning in flat blocks. Bids are expected to meet the specified budget requirements, and the tender period ends on 11 December 2024 with contract commencement on 1 April 2025. The total estimated value of the contract is £560,000, and the procurement method being used is an open procedure, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in cleaning and sanitation services, particularly those able to handle large-scale and complex cleaning tasks. Companies with a strong track record in building-cleaning services, including window-cleaning and deep cleaning, will find this contract attractive. As multiple Lots are available, businesses can bid for one, two, or all three, increasing their chances of being awarded a contract. This tender presents a good growth opportunity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service offerings within the public sector. ## Notice Somerset Council has a need to procure one or more contractors to cover the cleaning of sheltered housing meeting halls, extra care housing meeting halls, communal areas within flat blocks, and have ad-hoc arrangements in place, for example the removal of graffiti, deep cleaning and disposal of sharps. The requirement is divided into two workstreams as follows: Workstream 1 Communal cleaning in meeting halls and extra care schemes (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements) Workstream 2 cleaning of communal areas in flat blocks (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements). These workstreams will be procured under three separate Lots. Workstream 1 is being procured under Lot 1 Communal cleaning in meeting halls and extra care schemes (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements) Workstream 2 is being procured under two separate Lots, 2 and 3 as follows: Lot 2: 50% geographical split of cleaning of communal areas in flat blocks (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements). There are sub-Lots 2A and 2B to allow potential bidders to respond to potential service and price options. The preferred Lot for award is under sub-Lot 2A which is evaluated within the budget available, so any bid under this Lot must be priced within the available budget described below. Lot 2B will only be considered where there are no quality proposals under Lot A that meet the minimum standards required. Lot 3: 50% Geographical split of cleaning of communal areas in flat blocks (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements). There are sub-Lots 3A and 3B to allow potential bidders to respond to potential service and price options. The preferred Lot for award is under sub-Lot 3A which is evaluated within the budget available, so any bid under this Lot must be priced within the available budget described below. Lot 3B be will only be considered where there are no quality proposals under Lot A that meet the minimum standards required. The Council will only award one contract for one sub-Lot for Lot 2 and one sub-Lot for Lot 3. Applicants may bid for one, two or all three Lots and therefore the number of contracts awarded will be between 1 and 3. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6bbb1bbb-d0d9-4f67-b975-d299b2cc28f3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 11 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £560,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOMERSET COUNCIL | | Locality | TAUNTON | | Post town | Taunton | | Postcode | TA1 4DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK62 Somerset | | Local authority | Somerset | | Electoral ward | Bishop's Hull & Taunton West | | Westminster constituency | Taunton and Wellington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90900000 - Cleaning and sanitation services - 90910000 - Cleaning services - 90911000 - Accommodation, building and window cleaning services - 90911200 - Building-cleaning services - 90911300 - Window-cleaning services ## Release History - 11 Nov 2024 at 12:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6bbb1bbb-d0d9-4f67-b975-d299b2cc28f3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6bbb1bbb-d0d9-4f67-b975-d299b2cc28f3 11th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://ContractFinder Contract Finder ## Notice URLs - http://Contract - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
