The contract is based predominantly on an Output Specification and contract arrangements are as set out in the tender documents. Tenderers are invited to confirm contract management arrangements in their responses to the Specification. The Council is seeking proposals for the provision of Green Spaces services by means of a public tender exercise, seeking expressions of interest from potential providers for the provision of Green Space Services covering grounds maintenance within the urban areas of Buckinghamshire, Play area inspection & maintenance throughout the Buckinghamshire area and other green space services for Buckinghamshire Council; including allotment and cemetery management, pitch bookings ,changing room management, and general green space enquiry and complaint handling .

The Council is of the opinion that TUPE will apply. The TUPE actuary report is currently not available but will be sent as soon as it is available to the bidders that have returned the confidentiality agreement. This document will be sent via the correspondence function. The contract will not be divided into Lots. The reason for not having Lots is that we have previously considered fractionalizing the tender into lots, however had moved away from this direction. The reason for this is that we have a business need for a single contract, with one main contact and oversight presiding over the whole, which would reduce our management time and pick up economies of scale throughout the supply chain. We have previously found that one point of contact overall with several area managers gives us a suitable and timely service response, with resilience provided through the area managers. The Invitation to tender documents for this opportunity are published on the Council's procurement portal: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/buckinghamshire-council If you wish to participate and have not yet registered, please ensure you do so via the procurement portal in order to access the documentation.

Core opening times are 10.00 - 18.00 during summer months and 6 hours within the core times during the winter months (e.g.10.00 - 16.00).

The successful operator will be required to seamlessly commence operations under a lease with associated concession arrangement from 11th October 2026 following expiry of the lease held with the current incumbent operator on 10th October 2026. The lease and associated concession contract will be let on a 25-year basis. Break clauses subject to 12 months notice will be included for at years 10, 15 and 20 of the lease. The lease will be subject to rental / management fee and revenue share payments from the operator to the Council. The Council is targeting a guaranteed rental payment of £350k total over the initial 3 years of the lease to allow for profiling of rent in view of mobilisation costs, building up sales and the impact in the 1st year of the Council's planned lift refurbishment works. From year 4 onwards the target average per annum payment thereafter has been set at £220k. Rental payments are to be made in advance on a quarterly basis per annum. Lease payments will be subject to 5 yearly rent reviews with increases subject to CPI adjustments. A minimum revenue share % of 3% will apply with operators able to bid back an increased share % up to a maximum of 10%.

Revenue share payments are to be made within 30 days at the end of each contract year. In addition to rental and revenue share payments, the Council will also recover reinstatement insurance premium costs from the Operator. The Council is currently seeking specialist insurance advice which will inform the per annum figure to be accounted for within Operator commercial models. The Council is targeting to issue an insurance cost recovery value by week 3 - 4 of the tender period. The Council will reserve the right to alter and refine rent and revenue targets over the course of the procurement process and may issue revisions which alter the values and / or introduce pass/fail value requirements following evaluation of 1st stage tenders and completion of negotiation meetings in the event that the Council opts to undertake a 2nd stage of competitive tendering.

At the end of each operating year the Operator will be required to produce full audited accounts for operation of the Tower, providing full details of sales, costs, O/H contribution, profits, dividends, etc. Based upon current revenue and subject to indexation the Council estimates that the successful Operator could achieve a 25-year turnover figure of approx. £90M. However, the Council considers that there are significant opportunities to increase revenue though investment, diversification of activities, food & beverage offer, sponsorship, advertising, etc. which could have a major positive impact upon revenue generation, potentially increasing revenue generation to £110M and beyond over the 25 year term.

Westminster City Council (the ‘Council’) has a statutory duty to deliver repair and maintenance services to its 21,000-strong housing stock, comprising approximately 43% leasehold properties, 57% tenanted homes and 145 High Rise Buildings (HRB) across the Borough. It is also worth noting that 41% of the Council’s housing stock is located within a conservation area, whereas 17% of the buildings are listed properties. Furthermore, the Council delivers major works and planned cyclical construction-based maintenance with the view of continuously improving the physical and social infrastructure of its housing stock. Currently housing repairs, maintenance and works are delivered via eight (8) Term Partnering Contracts (‘TPC’) which were procured in 2017 and 2019 for a period of up to ten (10) years as follows: • Responsive Repairs and Voids • Major Works (2 separate contracts covering North and South of the Borough) • Mechanical • Electrical • Domestic Heating • Lifts • Aids & Adaptations The Council is intending to re-procure these contracts based on revised scopes as part of an overarching Strategic Alliance Agreement, based on the FAC-1 Framework Alliance Agreement which all appointed contractors will be required to sign up to along with the contract documents specific to each requirement. Taking into account the differing expiry dates of the TPCs, the various Section 20 consultation requirements, as well as the indicative timelines associated with each retendering process, the Council determined that the re-procurements will be delivered in tranches. The Council issued a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Notice related to this procurement (Ref 2025/S 000-061916) on 2nd October 2025 (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061916-2025) supplemental to PME Notice with reference 2025/S000-022847 dated Monday 19th May 2025 (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022847-2025) for the purpose of inviting interested market suppliers to engage in detailed consultation around the proposed procurement model and the new contract opportunities for responsive repairs and voids and major works. For information, and in addition to the existing TPCs referenced above, the Council will also be procuring the following requirements through separately regulated processes: Establishment of a Planned Preventative Works Framework Specialist repair and maintenance contracts, including but not limited to minor works, roofing, damp and mould, plumbing and drainage Various Health & Safety Compliance contracts, and Establishment of a Professional Services Framework This tender notice provides details of the procurement for the Responsive Repairs & Voids contract and the Major Works contracts, which form part of the first tranche. The procurement is a lotted Procurement with Responsive Repairs & Voids constituting Lot 1 and Major Works constituting Lot 2. The procurement is to be conducted as a Competitive Flexible Procedure (CFP) and the structure will follow the same approach for both lots: a. Combined Conditions of Participation (COP) and Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders (ISIT) stage, b. Shortlisted Tenderers will be invited to participate in Technical and Commercial Dialogue, c. all Tenderers who participated in the Dialogue stage will be issued with an Invitation to Submit Final Tenders (ISFT), d. final tenders will be assessed and a most advantageous tenderer identified in line with section 19 of the Procurement Act 2023. However, the Council does not wish the same supplier to be awarded both lots and therefore has set bidding restrictions as outlined further in this notice. The Client reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to update, modify or issue supplementary documentation at any time during the procurement process to clarify any issue or amend any aspect of the associated tender documents by notification to the Tenderers in writing. The Council may, in its absolute discretion, exercise the option to extend any deadline in the event that subsequent documentation is issued or for any other reason.
