Hard FM & Soft FM Services Agreement

BCA intends to award the contract to a single provider to manage the provision of hard facilities management services (including planned and reactive mechanical & electrical & fabric maintenance to the "Landside" and specific "Airside" areas at Belfast City Airport) and soft facilities management services (including operation of the cleaning and waste management services at the same site). The successful bidder may also be required to install (and provide maintenance and support services in respect of) an asset tagging and management system for the complete airport site. On expiry or termination of the Hard FM & Soft FM Services Agreement (however arising), BCA must be provided with a perpetual, royalty-free, sub-licensable and irrevocable licence to the system and must own all associated equipment and documentation. Alternatively, the Contractor may be required to integrate their computer aided facility management system with an alternative system proposed by BCA (the licensing and support requirements of which shall be managed by BCA). The scope of services to be provided are summarised in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and will be provided in more detail in the Invitation to Negotiate. Qualified bidders will be provided with historic usage requirements and asked to provide costs on that basis. Qualified bidders will have the opportunity to visit the site before submitting tenders. The estimated value of this procurement is on the basis of the maximum duration of the contract (being 5 years).
