Description

Portsmouth City Council (the 'council') currently have a contract in place for the delivery of grounds maintenance services at Lakeside North Harbour, Portsmouth, PO6 3EN which is due to end on the 31st March 2025. We are looking to gather information from the market to advise an upcoming tender for the re-procurement of this service.

The value of this opportunity is in the region of £225,000 per annum currently and it is envisaged that the contract will be for 3 years with the option to extend for a further 4 years at increments to be decided.

The council would like to 'test the market' to obtain a better understanding of the level of interest from potential suppliers in delivering this service, gain feedback in relation to the councils requirements, proposed commercial/contractual model, procurement approach and timescales.

Upon expressing interest in this project suppliers will be able to access a soft market testing brief, draft documents (specification, terms, equipment inventory, etc.) and response questionnaire. Completed questionnaires should be submitted via the InTend system by Friday 6th September 2024 12:00. Any questions should be addressed via In-tend correspondence.

Suppliers should note that there is no obligation to take part in this exercise and that if they do not take part, it will not preclude them from any subsequent related procurement process. Engaging suppliers will not receive preferential treatment in any subsequent quotation or tender process, and this is in no way an indication of the selection of any organisation or a guarantee of future work.
