Published requirement description

This process is a re-tender of the current Building Cleaning Services Framework let by CPC and expiring in May 2027.

CPC intends to put in place an Open Framework for the appointment of building cleaning suppliers who specialise in cleaning services, across education and also the wider public sector. The purpose of this Framework is to give CPC members a compliant route to market. The collective spending power of Members utilising CPC frameworks is harnessed to drive down costs, which often allows for savings delivery which our membership otherwise would be unable to achieve individually.

The Open framework will consist of 4 frameworks within the series. It is intended for the series to conclude on 21/03/2035.

CPC will be using the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform to carry out this tender. In order to express your interest in this tender and obtain the tender documents, please register or log in at: suppliers.multiquote.com/Page/Login.aspx ↗ If you have any issues when using MultiQuote, please contact Elcom Ltd on 020 3920 8054 or email [email protected]

How the procedure runs: CPC will publish Stage 1 - Conditions of Participation. Bidders who pass the Procurement Specific Questionnaire will then be invited to participate in Stage 2 - Dialogue Phase. If bidders do not pass the mandatory pass/fail questions in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire they will not be invited to Stage 2 - Dialogue Phase. During Stage 2, CPC will issue the Call Off Conditions of Contract for bidders to review and provide comments/amendments. CPC will collate the responses and issue the final set of Call Off Conditions of Contract in Stage 3 - ITT. Bidders who do not submit the dialogue response form in Stage 2 will no longer participate in the process and will not be invited to Stage 3 - ITT. In Stage 3 - ITT, CPC will issue the quality and pricing assessment documents. Once awarded the new Building Cleaning Services 5 framework will run as an Open framework re-opening every two years across an 8 year period.
