Procedure

Features
Karibu Community Homes is seeking delivery partners to provide reliable and high-quality Estates Services across its housing stock. The contract will run for an initial five-year term, with an estimated annual value of c. £500,000. There are then a further 3 x 5 year optional extension taking the maximum contract term to 20 years. The opportunity is divided into two lots: Lot 1 – Grounds Maintenance: Provision of grounds maintenance services across Karibu’s schemes and sites, ensuring high standards of cleanliness, tidiness, and horticultural care in communal areas. Lot 2 – Communal Cleaning: Delivery of cleaning services in communal areas across Karibu’s properties, maintaining consistent hygiene and presentation standards. Bidders may tender for one or both lots. Each lot will be evaluated separately, and Karibu Community Homes may award one or both lots to the same bidder where this provides best value for money and operational efficiency. This procurement is being conducted under the Competitive Flexible Procedure. The current stage is the Conditions of Participation Stage (CoPS), which focuses on compliance and demonstrable capability. Shortlisted bidders will be invited to the Final Tender Stage (FTS), where full technical proposals and pricing will be assessed prior to contract award. Bidders should note that although the notice only permits you to bid for and win one lot, you may bid for both and be awarded both should you rank 1st on both lots. This is an error with FTS' system that forces you to enter a number fewer than the total number of lots.

Planning and budget

No Engagement Notice Rationale
Karibu Community Homes were satisfied that there would be sufficient interest within the market to negate the requirement to conduct preliminary market engagement. This was also coupled with a lack of time and capacity to conduct market engagement.
