This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the cleaning services industry to establish or expand their presence in North Wales by demonstrating operational competence and management capabilities. The selective procurement process, allowing small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate, focused on cost efficiency (30%) and quality (70%) criteria, which suggests that businesses excelling in innovative and cost-effective cleaning solutions would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, with the potential to explore new technologies for efficient service delivery, businesses with a technological edge could leverage this opportunity to both grow their business and contribute to the public service sector.

North Wales Fire & Rescue Service was formed in 1996 through the amalgamation of the former Welsh Brigades. It covers an area of nearly 2,400 square miles and serves a population of just over 678,461 people including hundreds of thousands of visitors and tourists per year. The area of North Wales is made up of rural, coastal and urban areas. The Service operates from some 44 Fire Stations and 3 various office sites and employs some 1000 personnel including Wholetime Firefighters, Firefighters on the Retained Duty System, Fire Control staff, and non-uniformed support staff. The Service covers the five unitary authority areas of Denbighshire, Conwy, Flintshire, Wrexham and Gwynedd (Anglesey) and the Service Headquarters are located in St Asaph. Within the above sites, there are a mix of wholetime and part time stations. Each wholetime station and day crew station will require a 5-day clean, and each part time (retained station) will require a once a week clean. At Fire Service Headquarters, stores, workshops and CSO a 5-day clean will be required, Monday to Friday. On occasion there may be a requirement for one-off cleans to cover instances such as open days, community events, etc. These will be quoted as additional to this contract as and when required to be agreed with the service contract manager. During the term of the contract there may be a need to add or delete sites should new stations be built, added or closed. The successful supplier will be notified of any changes with three months' notice of opening / closure. Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, a reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract cost (fixed cost) by the number of annual input hours to arrive at a contractual cost per hour, this will then be multiplied by the number of hours due to arrive at the fiscal credit. We are seeking a suitably experienced supplier who has current experience of working within similar contracts, ideally with a strong operational base within the area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed during the contract term. The client would like a review of the entire cleaning contract to see if efficiencies can be made both operationally and financially. The client is open to the introduction of new technologies to aid with making the contract more efficient. The successful contractor must have a clear understanding of the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service approach to social values. A robust level of management support must be provided by the successful contractor to ensure that the detailed specification is delivered within the contract on a consistent basis within the contract period. The successful Supplier will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the senior management team within the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service on the contract performance.
