The method of procurement was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, necessitated by extreme urgency related to unforeseen circumstances from the Covid-19 pandemic. The total value of the contract is £616,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in soft facilities management, particularly those specializing in cleaning, caretaking, and pest control services.

To initiate a procurement process in this climate, when there is so much uncertainty regarding availability of key staff would be a potential risk. The pandemic has had a detrimental impact on cleaning staff resources, and other users. Barnsley council present priority is to ensure business continuity and as such key individuals would be unable to participate in a new procurement process (development of requirements, tender evaluation etc.).This include health provision in these buildings and the current priority in the pandemic is the delivery of healthcare services and any change may well have an adverse effect on services It would also be difficult for the Council to define and scope current/future requirements due to the ever changing way services are currently being delivered and whether the current cleaning model would need to be retained if and when COVID related measures can be scaled back. It would also be beneficial to Barnsley Council to ensure that the current service provider can build on the changes that have been implemented over the last year and Barnsley Council would have concerns regarding the impact that changing service providers at this time could have in meeting the current standards expected by staff and users. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017064-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £616,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARNSLEY | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S70 2DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE33 Barnsley | | Local authority | Barnsley | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Barnsley North | | Delivery location | TLE31 Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NORSE COMMERCIAL SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90000000 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 90900000 - Cleaning and sanitation services ## Release History - 20 Jul 2021 at 12:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017064-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://www.yortender.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
