The Contracting Authority is seeking expressions of interest from suitably experienced and qualified service providers in respect of its requirement for communal cleaning services across the following geographical areas in North Wales and as split into the following lots:

Lot 1 – Meirionnydd

Lot 2 – Dwyfor

Lot 3 – Bangor

Lot 4 – Arfon

The Contracting Authority intends to enter into separate (single provider) agreements in respect of each of the above lots in the form of the ACA Standard Form of Contract for Term Partnering known as TPC2005 (amended 2008) (as further amended pursuant to the Contracting Authority's requirements).

Whilst a service provider may, if invited to tender, submit a tender response for one or more of the above lots, service providers should note that they are only required to submit a complete a single pre-qualification questionnaire in the first instance.

Each contract shall be for a period of three years, with an option to extend for a further one year at the Contracting Authority's absolute discretion. Service providers should note that the Contracting Authority will not guarantee any minimum level or value of services required under each contract.

Further details of the Contracting Authority's requirements shall be set out in the pre-qualification questionnaire and invitation to tender (in due course). However, service providers should note that in order to be awarded one or more of the available contracts, they will need to be able to demonstrate both knowledge and experience in providing the services required under each lot in the context of affordable housing.
