This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to notify the market that the London Borough of Bromley plans to host supplier events and market-sounding meetings to progress its understanding of the market for Street Environment Services, with a view to developing an appropriate strategy for the procurement of these services, with contract commencement proposed for April 2019. Parties who wish to participate in the soft-market testing are required to register their interest by e-mail to: esc@bromley.gov.uk
As such, this PIN does not formally signify the beginning of a procurement process and does not constitute commitment to undertake a procurement exercise. In the event that the London Borough of Bromley decides to commence formally procurement pursuant to this PIN a separate OJEU Contract Notice will be issued.
The current contracts that may be incorporated into this procurement exercise include waste collection and disposal, operation of the borough's refuse sites, street cleansing, highways maintenance: minor and major works, abandoned and nuisance vehicles removal, winter maintenance, cleaning of highway drainage infrastructure, graffiti removal, arboricultural maintenance, grounds maintenance (incorporating soft landscaping works and playground maintenance) and park security as defined in (but not limited to) the Additional CPV codes herein.
It is proposed that this contract is divided into appropriate activity-based lots, with all supporting IT and Customer Services contained within the contracts. The feedback obtained from the soft-market test exercise will help determine the nature and scope of the lots. Further detail relating to the specific breakdown of the lots will be clearly set out in the OJEU Contract Notice and Procurement Documentation.
Consortium bids will be welcomed, and the use of local and small contractors is encouraged: 1 contractor who can provide all services would also be considered. The Authority is open to collaborative working with other authorities: as such, the contract may involve some form of framework arrangement
