Cleaning Services

This is a prior information notice for cleaning services, indicating the council's intention to procure. While it provides a good overview of the scope and planned procedure, it lacks specific details required for a formal tender, such as evaluation criteria and definitive submission requirements.

The notice adheres to general procurement principles by indicating a planned procedure (Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023) and providing a CPV code. However, the absence of a reveal date and specific evaluation criteria prevents a full assessment of legal compliance at this stage. The deadline provided is for a future tender, not this notice.

The description of the required cleaning services is reasonably clear, outlining the scope across corporate and housing portfolios, including specific locations and types of areas to be cleaned. The planned procurement procedure is also mentioned. However, specific criteria for evaluation and participation are not yet detailed.

As a prior information notice, it is expected to be incomplete regarding formal tender details. Basic information like title, organization, estimated value, and CPV code are present. However, crucial details for a tender, such as specific submission requirements, detailed eligibility criteria, and evaluation methods, are missing, as expected at this stage.

The notice promotes fairness by indicating the use of an e-procurement portal for future information and pre-market engagement, ensuring transparency and equal access. The planned competitive flexible procedure suggests an objective approach. No requirements appear tailored to specific companies.

The notice indicates that further information will be published via an e-procurement portal, which is a positive step for e-submission. However, this notice itself is not a submission opportunity. The contract start date and duration are provided, but financing information is absent.

Key fields such as title, organization, estimated value, CPV code, and contract duration are populated. The dates provided (submission deadline for the future tender, contract start) are logical in sequence. There are no indications of suspension or disputes.

The notice mentions potential inclusion of 'social value delivery' and 'safeguarding' requirements, which are positive indicators. However, there is no explicit mention of green procurement or innovation, and it is not stated as EU funded.
