"features": "This tender notice is for the award of a public contract through a competitive flexible procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023.\nThe Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) (including Conditions of Participation) is available within AWARD and will be used to down-select so that no more than 6 suppliers per Lot will be invited to Tender. This will also include the assessment of whether a supplier, its connected persons, associated persons or any intended subcontractors are excluded or excludable persons and whether the suppliers are UK suppliers under the Procurement Act. A clarification process will be used during the PSQ period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority.\nWithin the PSQ there are a mix of questions: Pass/Fail, a Fail in any question will result in exclusion from further participation in the tendering process; and scored Questions.\nFor those suppliers who Pass all of the Pass/Fail questions, their overall technical score will determine their ranking. Those suppliers ranking in the top 6 will be invited to Tender.\nWhere there is a tie at Positions 6 and 7 (or more), the decision on which supplier will be Invited to Tender will be based initially on the highest score on question 1 of the Technical Conditions of Participation. Where this still results in a tie, the decision will be based on the highest score for question 2. This will continue sequentially down the list for Questions 1 to 4 until a supplier is selected for 6th place. If this sequential process does not result in a clear 6th place then the Authority reserves the right to proceed to tender with additional suppliers who share equal 6th position.\nAn Invitation to Tender (ITT) will be issued to those successful at PSQ. A clarification process will be used during the tendering period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority. A summary of the award criteria is in this notice and will be explained in the Tender Evaluation Strategy, which will be published in AWARD, with the ITT. The Authority reserves the right to refine the award criteria before and during the Tender period in accordance with section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023. This may include revision to the scored quality questions including potential revision to the weightings.\n- The following supplementary processes may be used, with further details set out in the additional tender documents;\n- Clarifications - during the tender evaluation period\n- Dialogue\n- Supplier presentations / site visits - during the Tender, and Tender Evaluation period\n- Tender submission\n- Best and Final Offer\nPreferred Supplier Stage - an opportunity to review and apply any economies of scale to pricing where a supplier is awarded multiple lots; and/or to confirm solutions; and/or to finalise the draft contract(s). A review of pricing at this stage does not form part of the tender evaluation process.\nThe Authority reserves the right to amend the procurement, where such amendment would not be substantial, as follows, including and not limited to;\n- amendments to the tender documents which may provide clarification\n- refining the specification as the competitive flexible procedure progresses\n- reducing timescales.\nIf any amendments are made, the Authority will consider whether any applicable tender deadlines should be revised, and whether any tender documents or notices need to be re-issued.\nUnder Section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Authority reserves the right to Direct Award should no suitable tenders or requests to participate be received."

"features": "This tender notice is for the award of a public contract through a competitive flexible procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023.\nThe Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) (including Conditions of Participation) is available within AWARD and will be used to down-select so that no more than 6 suppliers per Lot will be invited to Tender. This will also include the assessment of whether a supplier, its connected persons, associated persons or any intended subcontractors are excluded or excludable persons and whether the suppliers are UK suppliers under the Procurement Act. A clarification process will be used during the PSQ period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority.\nWithin the PSQ there are a mix of questions: Pass/Fail, a Fail in any question will result in exclusion from further participation in the tendering process; and scored Questions.\nFor those suppliers who Pass all of the Pass/Fail questions, their overall technical score will determine their ranking. Those suppliers ranking in the top 6 will be invited to Tender.\nWhere there is a tie at Positions 6 and 7 (or more), the decision on which supplier will be Invited to Tender will be based initially on the highest score on question 1 of the Technical Conditions of Participation. Where this still results in a tie, the decision will be based on the highest score for question 2. This will continue sequentially down the list for Questions 1 to 4 until a supplier is selected for 6th place. If this sequential process does not result in a clear 6th place then the Authority reserves the right to proceed to tender with additional suppliers who share equal 6th position.\nAn Invitation to Tender (ITT) will be issued to those successful at PSQ. A clarification process will be used during the tendering period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority. A summary of the award criteria is in this notice and will be explained in the Tender Evaluation Strategy, which will be published in AWARD, with the ITT. The Authority reserves the right to refine the award criteria before and during the Tender period in accordance with section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023. This may include revision to the scored quality questions including potential revision to the weightings.\n- The following supplementary processes may be used, with further details set out in the additional tender documents;\n- Clarifications - during the tender evaluation period\n- Dialogue\n- Supplier presentations / site visits - during the Tender, and Tender Evaluation period\n- Tender submission\n- Best and Final Offer\nPreferred Supplier Stage - an opportunity to review and apply any economies of scale to pricing where a supplier is awarded multiple lots; and/or to confirm solutions; and/or to finalise the draft contract(s). A review of pricing at this stage does not form part of the tender evaluation process.\nThe Authority reserves the right to amend the procurement, where such amendment would not be substantial, as follows, including and not limited to;\n- amendments to the tender documents which may provide clarification\n- refining the specification as the competitive flexible procedure progresses\n- reducing timescales.\nIf any amendments are made, the Authority will consider whether any applicable tender deadlines should be revised, and whether any tender documents or notices need to be re-issued.\nUnder Section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Authority reserves the right to Direct Award should no suitable tenders or requests to participate be received."

"description": "The provision of quality Soft Facilities Management (SFM) services to the Defence community is a key enabler of supporting operational capability and supporting the health, well-being, satisfaction, and motivation of Service personnel.\nThe contracts which currently deliver these services, known as HESTIA, consolidated over 70 Multi-Activity Contracts (MACs) and successfully delivered a core set of standardised SFM services to the UK Defence estate through 7 regional contracts. These contracts are currently due to expire in 2026 and 2027.\nDefence Soft Facilities Management (UK Estate) Programme will deliver quality and consistent replacement SFM regional contracts which demonstrate value for money and affordability, whilst meeting current and future requirements. The contracts will also seek opportunities to enhance the \"Lived Experience\" for the Defence community by incorporating/addressing the opportunities for improvement identified throughout the life of the current contracts, brought about by changes in MOD policy, and in consultation with our customers.\nThe Defence Soft Facilities Management (UK Estate) Programme contributes to Defence Infrastructure Organisation's (DIO) commitment to deliver key Defence services by ensuring that Defence continues to Mobilise, Modernise and Transform.\nThe DIO is seeking expressions of interest, via the completion of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), from Potential Providers (PPs) for managing and delivering the Defence Soft Facilities Management services detailed in this tender notice.\nFurther information regarding the scope of the contracts can be found in the Regional Information Booklets (RIBs). The RIBs will also include background information regarding the Defence Soft Facilities Management (UK Estate) Programme, the services required and an overview of the establishments per region. During the life of the contracts there may be growth or reduction in estate driven by changes in defence outputs / requirements.\nThe Authority intends to use win restrictions as part of the evaluation methodology, details of the win restriction principles can be found in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire guidance document.\nPotential Providers must complete the Conflict-of-Interest declaration that will be made available as part of the PSQ supporting documents and to inform the Authority whether they have identified from this review any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising from the Potential Provider or any other identified party's participation in the procurement.\nPlease note that any incumbent supplier that has been shortlisted to participate in the ITT will be required sign the Ethical Walls Agreement made available as part of the PSQ supporting documents. Failure to do so may result in the Potential Provider being excluded from further participation in the procurement process.\nThe documents made available to Potential Providers via AWARD are;\n- 20250830-DEF SFM PSQ Guidance Document-v1.0\n- 20250707_Appendix 1_DEF SFM PSQ Guidance_V1\n- 20241007_Appendix 2_PSQ_Plan_DEF SFM_PSQ_Technical Questions\n- 20250808_DEF SFM_Conflict of Interest Declaration Form\n- 20250813_Ethical Walls Agreement\n- Regional Information Booklets \n- 20250813_DEF SFM_PSQ Certificate of Performance\n- 20250813_DEF SFM_PSQ_Similar Contracts Previous 3 Years\n- 20250902_Market Engagement Questions and Answers 19 Aug 25\n- 20250819-DEF SFM Industry Engagement Aug 25\nIn order to access these documents and submit a PSQ response Potential Providers will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement.

"features": "This tender notice is for the award of a public contract through a competitive flexible procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023.\nThe Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) (including Conditions of Participation) is available within AWARD and will be used to down-select so that no more than 6 suppliers per Lot will be invited to Tender. This will also include the assessment of whether a supplier, its connected persons, associated persons or any intended subcontractors are excluded or excludable persons and whether the suppliers are UK suppliers under the Procurement Act. A clarification process will be used during the PSQ period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority.\nWithin the PSQ there are a mix of questions: Pass/Fail, a Fail in any question will result in exclusion from further participation in the tendering process; and scored Questions.\nFor those suppliers who Pass all of the Pass/Fail questions, their overall technical score will determine their ranking. Those suppliers ranking in the top 6 will be invited to Tender.\nWhere there is a tie at Positions 6 and 7 (or more), the decision on which supplier will be Invited to Tender will be based initially on the highest score on question 1 of the Technical Conditions of Participation. Where this still results in a tie, the decision will be based on the highest score for question 2. This will continue sequentially down the list for Questions 1 to 4 until a supplier is selected for 6th place. If this sequential process does not result in a clear 6th place then the Authority reserves the right to proceed to tender with additional suppliers who share equal 6th position.\nAn Invitation to Tender (ITT) will be issued to those successful at PSQ. A clarification process will be used during the tendering period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority. A summary of the award criteria is in this notice and will be explained in the Tender Evaluation Strategy, which will be published in AWARD, with the ITT. The Authority reserves the right to refine the award criteria before and during the Tender period in accordance with section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023. This may include revision to the scored quality questions including potential revision to the weightings.\n- The following supplementary processes may be used, with further details set out in the additional tender documents;\n- Clarifications - during the tender evaluation period\n- Dialogue\n- Supplier presentations / site visits - during the Tender, and Tender Evaluation period\n- Tender submission\n- Best and Final Offer\nPreferred Supplier Stage - an opportunity to review and apply any economies of scale to pricing where a supplier is awarded multiple lots; and/or to confirm solutions; and/or to finalise the draft contract(s). A review of pricing at this stage does not form part of the tender evaluation process.\nThe Authority reserves the right to amend the procurement, where such amendment would not be substantial, as follows, including and not limited to;\n- amendments to the tender documents which may provide clarification\n- refining the specification as the competitive flexible procedure progresses\n- reducing timescales.\nIf any amendments are made, the Authority will consider whether any applicable tender deadlines should be revised, and whether any tender documents or notices need to be re-issued.\nUnder Section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Authority reserves the right to Direct Award should no suitable tenders or requests to participate be received."

"description": "The provision of quality Soft Facilities Management (SFM) services to the Defence community is a key enabler of supporting operational capability and supporting the health, well-being, satisfaction, and motivation of Service personnel.\nThe contracts which currently deliver these services, known as HESTIA, consolidated over 70 Multi-Activity Contracts (MACs) and successfully delivered a core set of standardised SFM services to the UK Defence estate through 7 regional contracts. These contracts are currently due to expire in 2026 and 2027.\nDefence Soft Facilities Management (UK Estate) Programme will deliver quality and consistent replacement SFM regional contracts which demonstrate value for money and affordability, whilst meeting current and future requirements. The contracts will also seek opportunities to enhance the \"Lived Experience\" for the Defence community by incorporating/addressing the opportunities for improvement identified throughout the life of the current contracts, brought about by changes in MOD policy, and in consultation with our customers.\nThe Defence Soft Facilities Management (UK Estate) Programme contributes to Defence Infrastructure Organisation's (DIO) commitment to deliver key Defence services by ensuring that Defence continues to Mobilise, Modernise and Transform.\nThe DIO is seeking expressions of interest, via the completion of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), from Potential Providers (PPs) for managing and delivering the Defence Soft Facilities Management services detailed in this tender notice.\nFurther information regarding the scope of the contracts can be found in the Regional Information Booklets (RIBs). The RIBs will also include background information regarding the Defence Soft Facilities Management (UK Estate) Programme, the services required and an overview of the establishments per region. During the life of the contracts there may be growth or reduction in estate driven by changes in defence outputs / requirements.\nThe Authority intends to use win restrictions as part of the evaluation methodology, details of the win restriction principles can be found in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire guidance document.\nPotential Providers must complete the Conflict-of-Interest declaration that will be made available as part of the PSQ supporting documents and to inform the Authority whether they have identified from this review any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising from the Potential Provider or any other identified party's participation in the procurement.\nPlease note that any incumbent supplier that has been shortlisted to participate in the ITT will be required sign the Ethical Walls Agreement made available as part of the PSQ supporting documents. Failure to do so may result in the Potential Provider being excluded from further participation in the procurement process.\nThe documents made available to Potential Providers via AWARD are;\n- 20250830-DEF SFM PSQ Guidance Document-v1.0\n- 20250707_Appendix 1_DEF SFM PSQ Guidance_V1\n- 20241007_Appendix 2_PSQ_Plan_DEF SFM_PSQ_Technical Questions\n- 20250808_DEF SFM_Conflict of Interest Declaration Form\n- 20250813_Ethical Walls Agreement\n- Regional Information Booklets \n- 20250813_DEF SFM_PSQ Certificate of Performance\n- 20250813_DEF SFM_PSQ_Similar Contracts Previous 3 Years\n- 20250902_Market Engagement Questions and Answers 19 Aug 25\n- 20250819-DEF SFM Industry Engagement Aug 25\nIn order to access these documents and submit a PSQ response Potential Providers will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement.
