The invitation for tender (ID: JM/CAS/LCC/21/1205) is categorized under cleaning services (CPV code: 90910000) and is set within the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 12th July 2021, with the tender period closing on 13th August 2021. The overall contract is valued at £420,000 and has a duration from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2025, having been procured through an open procedure above the threshold. This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in providing cleaning services, particularly those capable of maintaining a high standard in a rural and potentially demanding environment. With services required year-round, businesses offering flexible and responsive cleaning solutions will be well-suited to compete. Participation may also foster further partnerships within the local area, enhancing service delivery for events and private bookings at the centre. ## Notice Situated by Lake Windermere approximately three miles from Bowness in Cumbria, the Tower Wood Outdoor Education Centre (OEC) includes a collection of facilities offering a range of vocational activities, as well as conferencing and private booking options. There is a capacity of 109 beds over several buildings, as well as lounge spaces, kitchenettes, classrooms, bathrooms, and a boathouse. The Authority wishes to appoint a service provider who is able to provide a consistently high standard of cleaning services as outlined in the tender documentation. Tenderers should note the rural location and that services may be required on any day of the year. An information session will be held at the OEC in Cumbria during the tender advertisement period. This is to give tenderers the opportunity to view the facilities. More details, including how to register attendance, are provided in the ITT Instructions and Guidance document at paragraph 3.1. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b211b2b-43dc-4410-9bad-2365c852b08a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Oct 2021 | | Contract period | 29 Nov 2021 - 28 Nov 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £420,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £674,000 | | 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 | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | THE BAY CLEANING SERVICES; UNITED CLEANING SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90910000 - Cleaning services ## Release History - 24 Nov 2021 at 09:27 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b211b2b-43dc-4410-9bad-2365c852b08a - 24 Nov 2021 at 09:25 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b211b2b-43dc-4410-9bad-2365c852b08a - 15 Oct 2021 at 08:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b211b2b-43dc-4410-9bad-2365c852b08a - 12 Jul 2021 at 15:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b79a997f-4a81-4f99-b353-d42511e3a0dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b211b2b-43dc-4410-9bad-2365c852b08a 15th October 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b79a997f-4a81-4f99-b353-d42511e3a0dd 12th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/isupplier/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
