Preliminary Market Engagement for Cleaning Services at Teignbridge District Council: coming to market

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

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.
