- 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.
General explanations written by Tenderpatch, not part of this notice.
Description
University Locks is a 651-bed university-managed hall of residence, which provides self-clean accommodation to Birmingham City University students for 41-51 weeks. In addition, the accommodation is let to summer schools and conferences during July and August. This provides a short window to deep clean the accommodation in readiness for new students arriving in September. It is therefore essential that all cleaning is carried out to the highest standard, first and every time, to the proposed schedules.
The majority of the rooms are ensuite in cluster flats of mainly 6-8 beds sharing a kitchen/dining/lounge area, with a small number of non-ensuite 2-bed flats.
The cleaning schedules provided are indicative of the anticipated cleaning required during the summer and should be used as a basis for the completion of the financial schedule. As the tender process is completed so far in advance of the summer it is to be expected that the actual requirements will vary from those currently indicated in the cleaning schedules.
This is for a 3-year term, with the option to extend for 2 years in yearly increments.
There is a site visit on Tuesday 13th October between 10am and 12pm.
