What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionBabergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council (BMSDC) are looking to jointly procure Contractors for the delivery of their Internal and External Cyclical Decoration Works Contracts.
This opportunity will include two geographic Lots, one for each District.
The estimated combined annual contracts value is circa GBP600,000.00 to GBP1,000,000.00. This figure does not take into account annual indexation considerations or VAT.
It is intended that the contracts will run for a period of three years with the option for renewal, as decided by BMSDC, for an extension of up to a further two years, subject to satisfactory reviews. The maximum duration of the contract is therefore five years. The contract value in this notice is therefore subject to review and is not guaranteed, as this is based upon the maximum term.
- How the procedure runs: An initial stage relating to Conditions of Participation, followed by a Tender stage including technical, price and social value evaluation.
CPV: Decoration work · Interior decorating services · Painting work · Painting work of buildings · Painting work of structures · Repainting work
