The procurement process, which falls under the industry category of Facilities Management Services, is at the Tender stage and is set to close on 2nd August 2017. The contract has a duration of five years, starting from 1st June 2018, and may extend for up to two additional years. The services will be provided at various sites across the Trust, including cleaning, catering, and housekeeping for approximately 1,200 patient beds and 140,000 square meters of space. This opportunity represents significant potential for businesses in the facilities management sector, particularly those specialising in cleaning and catering services. Companies with adaptable service delivery models and experience in healthcare environments will be well-suited to participate in this tender. The Trust aims to consolidate multiple existing contracts into a single strategic partnership, providing a platform for service providers to demonstrate continuous improvement in operational efficiency and patient care quality. ## Notice Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH), as the Contracting Authority, is tendering for Soft FM Services. The contract will be for 5 years, with an option for a maximum extension of up to 2 years thereafter, for the provision of a range of Soft FM services. This includes cleaning, catering and housekeeping services at sites across the Trust. This includes 10 satellite locations for cleaning services only. The service will also include the equipping of 3 additional satellite kitchens. The Trust reserves the right to review the scale and scope of the contract, and further reserves the right to add comparable services. Services provided must be responsive to the Contracting Authority's requirements which will be based on the number of Patients and their associated needs stemming from the Trust's healthcare provision. The successful provider will need to be flexible in their approach to service delivery. Currently there are approximately 1,200 patient beds, and 140,000 square meters of space requiring cleaning. Patients receive three meals per day; including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Any refinements to the service required will not alter the character of the individual services described above. Our strategic long term view is one of securing a single strategic contracted partner, replacing several contracts currently held, in order to secure improvements year-on-year in operational costs, and at the same time deliver our ambition of improvement to patient experience and quality of care. Full information on this will be provided in the tender documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca2ab940-af92-465f-9fd9-f23d4d3c7cd1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2018 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 0QQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Queen Edith's | | Westminster constituency | South Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79993100 - Facilities management services ## Release History - 27 Jun 2017 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca2ab940-af92-465f-9fd9-f23d4d3c7cd1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca2ab940-af92-465f-9fd9-f23d4d3c7cd1 27th June 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://cuh.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.cuh.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
