What is being bought

Published requirement description

Bracknell Town Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to provide comprehensive cleaning services across eight council-managed sites within Bracknell. This contract will amalgamate all existing cleaning arrangements into a single agreement.

The required cleaning hours are:

Summer period: 30.5 hours per week

Winter period: 36.5 hours per week

The contractor must be able to provide cleaning operatives with their own transport, as travel between sites on specified days is essential.

Sites to be cleaned include:

Community pavilions and halls

Grounds team depots and mess rooms

Changing rooms

Public toilets

Offices

Bus stop shelters at various roadside locations

The contract also requires provision of ad-hoc cover for council-employed cleaning staff as needed.

All cleaning must be delivered to a high standard, in accordance with the schedules and specifications provided by Bracknell Town Council.

Framework Operation Description

This framework agreement will establish the terms for the provision of cleaning services across multiple Bracknell Town Council sites. The framework will operate for a maximum of four years, in line with statutory requirements.

Price Determination

Prices for cleaning services will be determined through a competitive tender process. Bidders will be required to submit fixed prices for the specified cleaning hours and site requirements, as detailed in the contract documents. Prices must remain fixed for the duration of the framework unless otherwise agreed in accordance with the contract terms.

Please produce your own full tender document, including your methodology, service delivery plan, staffing structure, quality monitoring, and pricing schedule, and submit it to [email protected]

Selection and Award Process

All interested suppliers will be invited to submit tenders in response to the published specification.

Tenders will be evaluated on the basis of the most economically advantageous offer, considering both price and quality criteria.

The Council will assess tenders for compliance with suitability, capability, legal status, and financial standing, as set out in the procurement documents.

Contracts for cleaning services will be awarded to the supplier(s) whose tender(s) best meet the published criteria.

The Council is not obliged to accept the lowest or any tender.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Cleaning Contract - Multi-site” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.

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