Technical requirements: Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is seeking to establish a multi Supplier Framework Contract for the provision of Facilities Management (FM) Services. This has been developed to improve the way in which the Public Sector and the Wider Public Sector purchase FM services.
Primarily in the UK (including Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales) however, with some requirements overseas.
This Framework Contract is to replace the current FM Services framework RM1056, which is due to expire in July 2019.
CCS have worked closely with potential buyers, suppliers and industry bodies to create a straightforward, transparent route to market which will offer more opportunities for FM Organisations large and small, and increase the commercial benefits.
CCS have removed the need for you to demonstrate UK wide coverage, breaking down the United Kingdom into geographical boundaries.
The requirement is for all suppliers to be able to provide all of the mandatory Services. Your capability to deliver non-mandatory Services will not be tested at a framework level.
An entirely new set of simplified terms and conditions have been written in plain English for this procurement.
There is an option for CCS to extend for a further 2 x 1 year (12 months) however individual Call Offs can extend beyond the life of the Framework with an initial length of up to 7 years, and a maximum duration (including extensions) of 10 years.
We do not consider that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) to be an issue in respect of this procurement at a framework level, as the services are not provided at this level. However, TUPE may apply at Call Off. It is your responsibility to take your own advice and consider whether TUPE is likely to apply and to act accordingly.
