This initiative falls under the services industry category and aims to cover various regions within the UK, including the Southeast and possibly the Southwest. The process commenced on 23rd December 2024, with a future notice expected on 21st February 2025. The procurement will adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and there is a possibility of dividing the contract into separate agreements for cleaning and security services and maintenance services. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning, security, and maintenance services to expand their operations. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas would be well-suited to compete due to the potential segmentation of service requirements. Collaboration with regional consortia members provides an additional avenue for business growth. The procurement aims to source high-quality, reliable services, making it an attractive opportunity for firms looking to establish or strengthen their presence in the public sector facilities management market. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice (PIN) aims to gain insights into the cleaning, security, and maintenance markets, raise awareness of an upcoming contract opportunity for these services, and engage with the market on key areas that will help shape the proposed procurement before initiating the procurement process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

One agreement covering Cleaning and Security Services, while the other will focus on Maintenance Services. This engagement, along with input from our members, will help determine whether LUPC should proceed with a single agreement or opt for two separate agreements. Additional information: The proposed new agreement is likely to be divided into lots. The decision regarding the structure of the Lots will be informed by this engagement and input from our members. The finalised Lot structure will be outlined in the Contract Notice(s). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041434-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Feb 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON UNIVERSITIES PURCHASING CONSORTIUM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC3R 8HN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Tower | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services - 50324200 - Preventive maintenance services - 50710000 - Repair and maintenance services of electrical and mechanical building installations - 79710000 - Security services - 79713000 - Guard services - 79715000 - Patrol services - 79993100 - Facilities management services - 90910000 - Cleaning services - 90911000 - Accommodation, building and window cleaning services ## Release History - 23 Dec 2024 at 15:16 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041434-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://forms.office.com/e/1mBCwsNWLZ - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=88862&B=LUPC - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/81165 - https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=LUPC - https://www.lupc.ac.uk - https://www.lupc.ac.uk/members/our-members/ - https://www.supc.ac.uk/our-members/# ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
