Somerset Council - Cleaning of Communal Areas in HRA (Housing) Properties Documents available from https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login

Somerset Council has a need to procure one or more contractors to cover the cleaning of sheltered housing meeting halls, extra care housing meeting halls, communal areas within flat blocks, and have ad-hoc arrangements in place, for example the removal of graffiti, deep cleaning and disposal of sharps.

The requirement is divided into two workstreams as follows:

Workstream 1 Communal cleaning in meeting halls and extra care schemes (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements)

Workstream 2 cleaning of communal areas in flat blocks (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements).

These workstreams will be procured under three separate Lots.

Workstream 1 is being procured under Lot 1 Communal cleaning in meeting halls and extra care schemes (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements)

Workstream 2 is being procured under two separate Lots, 2 and 3 as follows:

Lot 2: 50% geographical split of cleaning of communal areas in flat blocks (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements). There are sub-Lots 2A and 2B to allow potential bidders to respond to potential service and price options.

The preferred Lot for award is under sub-Lot 2A which is evaluated within the budget available, so any bid under this Lot must be priced within the available budget described below. Lot 2B will only be considered where there are no quality proposals under Lot A that meet the minimum standards required.

Lot 3: 50% Geographical split of cleaning of communal areas in flat blocks (including specification for adhoc deep cleans and other adhoc requirements). There are sub-Lots 3A and 3B to allow potential bidders to respond to potential service and price options.

The preferred Lot for award is under sub-Lot 3A which is evaluated within the budget available, so any bid under this Lot must be priced within the available budget described below. Lot 3B be will only be considered where there are no quality proposals under Lot A that meet the minimum standards required.

The Council will only award one contract for one sub-Lot for Lot 2 and one sub-Lot for Lot 3. Applicants may bid for one, two or all three Lots and therefore the number of contracts awarded will be between 1 and 3.
