This opportunity falls under the cleaning and sanitation services category and is relevant to the North West region of England. The procurement process, currently at the Planning stage, follows a restricted procedure with a selective method. Interested providers must submit their responses to the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) by 16:00 on 9th October 2017. The contract is expected to start on 1st April 2018 and will last until 31st March 2022, with an estimated total value of £4 million. Invitations to tender will be sent out to a shortlist of five to six suppliers following the PQQ evaluations, with the contract award anticipated by February 2018. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the cleaning services sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate their capacity to deliver services across multiple corporate properties. With the ongoing asset consolidation by the council, there may be potential for innovative cleaning solutions that can adapt to reduced property numbers over the contract period. Vendors with experience in public sector contracts, particularly those familiar with TUPE regulations and responsive customer service, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice This opportunity is being published by Cumbria County Council via 'The Chest' - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ All clarifications about the opportunity should be made via the messages area.
