What is being bought

Published requirement description

The RAISE Education Trust, based in Southampton and the Trust comprises 3 schools.

The RAISE Education Trust is conducting a tender process to award a contract for the provision of ‘Planned & Preventative Maintenance’ services to commence on 01 January 2027.

The contract is being offered for three years with the option to extend for a further two periods of 12 months.

The contract is for a full planned and preventative maintenance service during term time and outside of term time.

TUPE is not expected to apply.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 28 Apr 2028, 23:59 BST.
  • How the procedure runs: As part of the initial project set up and approval stage of the tender process, RAISE Education Trust discussed with Minerva the possibility of splitting the tender into more than one lot/contract. On the basis that RAISE Education Trust is a Trust with only a small number of sites (in a close geographic area) it was agreed that lots were not appropriate for this tender process. Full details of the description of the process being used are contained within the documents accompanying this tender. Stage 1 Conditions of participation with evaluation Suppliers are invited to submit a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) response. Submissions will be evaluated based on the criteria detailed in the PSQ documentation. A maximum of five suppliers will be taken forward to the Invitation to Tender stage of the process. Where less than five suppliers meet the minimum standards, only those that meet the minimum standards will be taken through to the Invitation to Tender stage. Where more than five suppliers meet the minimum standard, those suppliers with the highest scores will proceed to the Invitation to Tender stage. Stage 2 Invitation to Tender with evaluation Suppliers shortlisted to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage will be required to submit their final tender and will be evaluated on the criteria detailed in the ITT documentation. Envisaged shortlist of the three highest scoring bidders to be invited to: Stage 3 Presentation Day Stage 4 Assessment Summaries and Publication of Contract Award Notice (commencing 8 working day standstill period) Stage 5 Publication of Contract Details Notice Further details of the CFP can be found in the documentation accompanying this tender.
