This initiative aims to explore the capability and availability of experienced organisations to provide corporate cleaning services across various sites in the City of Worcester, England. Key engagement will conclude on 12th February 2022, allowing prospective providers to understand the Council's requirements and address any concerns through a Market Sounding Questionnaire, which is part of the tendering process. The total estimated value of this contract is £600,000. This market sounding exercise presents significant opportunities for businesses in the cleaning services industry. Companies that are well-suited to participate are those with a solid track record in delivering corporate cleaning services and those that can demonstrate the ability to respond to the specific needs of the Council. This process will enable interested parties to better prepare for potential future contracts, collaborate with other service providers, and refine their service offerings based on the Council's outlined specifications. ## Notice Worcester City Council is looking into the capability and availability of suitably qualified and experienced organisations to potentially provide all of our Corporate Cleaning Services at a number of sites within the City of Worcester. To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of matters. You are therefore invited to consider our Specification and complete a Market Sounding Questionnaire. This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only. It will be used in order to assess the reaction of the market and make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient. Participating in this process will give Providers the opportunity to: - gain a clear understanding of the Council's requirements - raise any concerns - better plan and prepare for the potential contract opportunity - partner with others to provide the service The Council is using the e-procurement portal known as the Proactis Pro-Contract portal https://procontract.due-north.com to conduct this procurement exercise. To gain access to the procurement documents, Contractors will need to register their company details at the above website. Once registered, contractors will be emailed a log-in and password which will allow them to gain access to the procurement documents. Contractors will need to search for the invitation under Worcester City Council and then electronically submit an expression of interest and follow the online instructions to view the procurement documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20f29154-927b-4c7c-abd2-71af36ea0fda | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Feb 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WORCESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | WORCESTER | | Post town | Worcester | | Postcode | WR1 2EY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG12 Worcestershire CC | | Local authority | Worcester | | Electoral ward | Cathedral | | Westminster constituency | Worcester | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90910000 - Cleaning services ## Release History - 12 Nov 2021 at 16:47 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20f29154-927b-4c7c-abd2-71af36ea0fda ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20f29154-927b-4c7c-abd2-71af36ea0fda 12th November 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
