Additional Information

The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Section II.1.5 and II.2.6 (Estimated Total Value/Estimated Value): The estimated value represents the potential value of new capital projects and refurbishments which the Partner may be required to deliver over the 15 year partnership period only. This does not include the remuneration the Partner may earn for managing the Secondary Services.

It is difficult to provide an accurate projection of the potential returns that the Partner could make in managing and generating efficiencies in relation to the Secondary Services as a viable payment mechanism will be explored as part of the competitive dialogue process. It also depends on the scale of services the Trust decides to approve to be managed by the Partner. The potential value of Secondary Services which the Partner (through the JV) may be required to manage during the partnership may be up to (Nick Ryan to confirm total facilities annual spend multiplied by 15 years) GBP per annum based on the value of current services.

The potential return to the Partner from delivering developed assets and providing services will depend on many commercial factors including (but not limited to) the number of schemes and services approved by Trust to be managed by the JV, the performance of the Partner, market conditions, and the arrangements for financing activities and sharing returns agreed in establishing the JV. Bidders should seek independent legal and commercial advice in relation to the potential value of the opportunity of the scheme as a whole.

[Section II.1.6 (Lots):]

Section II.2.10 (Variants) — The Trust reserves the right to invite variant proposals and final details of whether variants will be invited will be provided to bidders that are shortlisted to participate in the competitive dialogue stage of the procurement.

Section IV.2.2 (Time-limit for requests to participate) — Expressions of interest must be by way of completion and return of the prequalification questionnaire (in accordance with the requirements set out in the prequalification questionnaire) by the date and time specified in Section IV.2.2.

Expressions of interest must be received before the deadline. Bidders are encouraged to submit their submissions well in advance of the stated date and time in order to avoid such issues as technical difficulties with the electronic system that may be due to the high volumes of traffic attempting to submit applications on the same date at the same time. Expressions of interest delivered after the date and time specified or to a different address, electronically or otherwise, will not be considered.

The Trust reserves the right not to award the opportunity or to award only part (or a different arrangement) of the opportunity described in this contract notice.
