The tendering process aimed to appoint a suitable supplier to provide cleaning services for communal areas within FHDC's social housing stock. The contract, worth approximately £1.85 million, will commence on 1 October 2024 and span three years, with an optional extension of up to an additional 36 months. The procurement was conducted using a two-stage 'restricted' procedure, with the council originally planning to invite five organisations to the tender's second stage. The awarded supplier is Cleanscapes, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), with the contract period running from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2027, covering the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in accommodation, building, and window cleaning services. Businesses equipped to deliver high-quality cleaning services that meet FHDC's detailed specifications are well-suited to benefit from this contract. The procurement process, designed to be inclusive of SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), encourages a diverse range of suppliers to participate. This contract not only provides steady business but also offers the potential for an extended partnership with FHDC, fostering long-term stability and growth for the successful supplier. ## Notice Folkestone and Hythe District Council ("FHDC") wishes to select and appoint a suitable supplier to provide cleaning services for the communal areas of FHDC's social housing stock and invites prospective suppliers to submit a Tender to meet the Council's requirements. The specific requirements for the above are detailed in the Specification at Appendix A. By submitting a quotation, you confirm that you understand and can meet these requirements. The contract is anticipated to start 1 October 2024 and continue for a period of 3 years (with the option to extend for a further period (or periods) of up to 36 months). This tender will be conducted using a two-stage 'restricted' procedure. This selection stage ('stage one') will be used to decide which organisations we will invite to tender in stage two. We expect to select five organisations for the second stage. If the scores of some applicants are the same or very close, we might choose to invite more than five organisations to tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1fa485fd-225b-4970-ad67-ba63069ddf55 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 16 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 May 2024 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2024 - 30 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,722,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,853,987 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOLKESTONE AND HYTHE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | FOLKESTONE | | Post town | Canterbury | | Postcode | CT20 2QY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ44 East Kent | | Local authority | Folkestone and Hythe | | Electoral ward | Folkestone Central | | Westminster constituency | Folkestone and Hythe | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CLEANSCAPES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90911000 - Accommodation, building and window cleaning services ## Release History - 18 Sep 2024 at 08:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1fa485fd-225b-4970-ad67-ba63069ddf55 - 15 Jan 2024 at 14:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91613ddd-333c-4ee4-b242-fe07204174a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1fa485fd-225b-4970-ad67-ba63069ddf55 18th September 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91613ddd-333c-4ee4-b242-fe07204174a2 15th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e2f95ad4-aeb3-ee11-8127-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.folkestone-hythe.gov.uk/council-transparency/procurement-information ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
