Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes
Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description

Teignbridge District Council intends to procure cleaning services for its corporate, operational and leisure buildings and its public toilets. The current scope includes: - Forde House - Old Forde House - the Depot and Bulking Station - Newton Abbot Leisure Centre - Broadmeadow Sports Centre - Dawlish Leisure Centre - Teignbridge Business Centre - Sherborne House - around 24 public toilet sites across the district The portfolio is expected to change during the contract term. The contract will therefore need to allow sites to be added and removed. The Council is considering whether to divide the requirement into lots, for example by site type or geographical area, to encourage participation from small and local businesses. It is also considering whether window cleaning should be included, lotted separately or procured separately. TUPE is expected to apply at some sites. The Council welcomes views from suppliers on: - lotting - frequency-based versus output-based specification - pay rates (Real Living Wage and National Minimum Wage) and price indexation - TUPE - responsibility for equipment and consumables - contract length, break clauses and transfer to a successor authority - social value This engagement does not commit the Council to any procurement or approach. Taking part, or not taking part, will not affect any supplier’s position in a future procurement.
