In plain English
Trent & Dove Housing wants to appoint one contractor to provide an integrated cleaning service across its housing properties and offices, including communal areas, shared spaces in Over-55 and Independent Living schemes, the Trinity Square corporate premises, and window cleaning. The estimated value is £1,820,000, for an initial three years with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. This notice covers only the first stage, a qualification questionnaire, after which up to six suppliers will be invited to tender.
What the buyer wants
• Complete and submit the Stage 1 Procurement Specific Questionnaire, which assesses eligibility, exclusion grounds, economic and financial standing, technical capability and project-specific criteria. • Show you can deliver the full service: programmed communal cleaning, shared-area cleaning in Independent Living and Over-55 schemes, corporate cleaning, cyclical and ad-hoc window cleaning, deep cleaning and floor treatment. • Read all the attached Stage 1 documents carefully, as the highest-scoring compliant suppliers (up to six) will be invited to Stage 2 Invitation to Tender.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Because this is a single contract worth £1.82 million over at least three years, covering multiple sites and requiring financial standing and technical capability assessments, small businesses without the scale, financial strength or track record to deliver an integrated service across all these premises are most likely to be ruled out, although the notice does not state specific financial thresholds.
Always check the tender documents.
