## About this tender

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.
