Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £167,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #1Facilities Management Services – Total assessed contract value £0 - £1,000,000Awarded 3 yrsceiling above

Facilities Management Services.

Tenderers are required to provide and deliver an integrated multidisciplinary range of facilities management services for customers with a total assessed contract value in the range £0 - £1,000,000.

Tenderers will need to able to provide the services within one or more of the following geographical regions: East Midlands; East of England; North East England; North West England; South East England; South West England; West Midlands; Yorkshire & Humber; London; Scotland; Wales; and Northern Ireland.

It will be a mandatory requirement that tenderers are able to provide at least 75% of the services listed within the specification if they intend to tender for either Lot 1, 2 or 3.

The following information is applicable for all lots:

ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.

Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.

An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “676_20 Total Facilities Management” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
