The procurement is managed through an open procedure and is currently in the tender stage. The services are to be provided at NPL's premises located in Teddington, England, with postal code TW11 0LW, covering the broader regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally. The contract, valued between £1,000,000 and £7,000,000, will span from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The submission deadline for this tender is 11th September 2024 at 15:00 BST. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning, waste management, and logistics services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in providing sanitary environments, handling high-security areas, and managing comprehensive logistics, including postal services and specialised consignments, will find this RFI particularly advantageous. Engaging in this contract can provide sustainable business growth, access to new markets, and the potential for long-term collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory. ## Notice Lot 1: Cleaning Services - The objective of the cleaning service is to provide a sanitary, clean and tidy environment to enable staff and visitors to use the premises safely and hygienically. The Contractor shall also clean certain high security areas such as laboratories and server rooms in the presence of NPL staff. This lot will also include waste management. Lot 2: Logistics Services - The services are designed to ensure the efficient and effective management, handling, storage, receipt, dispatch, and distribution of various items, including postal items, goods, scientific equipment, and specialised consignments in the UK and internationally. Additional information: This Procurement was previously issued onto the Bravo Portal on 22 July as "PQQ_195 - Soft FM Services" and included both cleaning and logistic elements together. Following internal discussion, National Physical Laboratory have taken the strategic decision to split the services previously issued. These have now been split into two separate lots and therefore we will run the Cleaning and Logistics separately. Suppliers are permitted to submit an RFI for both or either lot. Lot 1: Cleaning Services (PQQ_199) Lot 2: Logistics Services (PQQ_200) Suppliers should ensure they are registered on the link to gain access to the documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9413f366-cca6-4881-91a6-07e753f84eac | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,000,000 | | 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 | NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY | | Locality | TEDDINGTON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW11 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Teddington | | Westminster constituency | Twickenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 90910000 - Cleaning services - 98341120 - Portering services ## Release History - 27 Aug 2024 at 14:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9413f366-cca6-4881-91a6-07e753f84eac - 22 Jul 2024 at 11:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78bd4310-54fb-4254-9bd8-3f1aae354c7e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9413f366-cca6-4881-91a6-07e753f84eac 27th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78bd4310-54fb-4254-9bd8-3f1aae354c7e 22nd July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://lupc.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml Location of the RFI can be found on Bravo Solutions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
