AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
The UK government is building a 60-month (5-year) framework agreement for Complete Facilities Management services. Any qualified facilities management company can apply to join this framework between now and 31 May 2025, and once approved, public sector organisations across the UK can hire you directly from the list without running their own tender process.
Requirements
- Ability to provide complete facilities management services (specific scope to be detailed in full tender documents)
- Compliance with OJEU procurement regulations (as this is a government framework)
- Ability to serve public sector clients across the United Kingdom
- Financial viability and insurance appropriate to facilities management work (standard for this sector)
- No specific certifications mentioned in this notice — check full tender documents for ISO, health & safety, or other mandatory qualifications
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide complete facilities management services to iFM Bolton and other public sector organisations
- Deliver services under a framework agreement lasting up to 60 months
- Respond to call-offs from public sector bodies who select you from the approved supplier list
- Meet service levels and specifications as defined in individual client call-off contracts
How to Read This Tender
- 1A 'Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) is a pre-approved supplier list — you apply once, get approved, then clients call you directly for work. It's not one big contract; it's a route onto the list.
- 2The 30-day 'initial application period' is over, but the notice says applications continue until 31 May 2025 — you can still apply, just not in the first 30 days. After May 2025, no new suppliers are accepted until 2029.
- 3This is an 'amendment' to an original notice from 2020 — the framework was due to end, but they've extended it to 2029. The original terms haven't changed, only the end date.
- 4You will not see detailed service specifications in this notice — they're in the 'full tender documents' you must request. Download or request these immediately if interested.
- 5Once on the DPS, clients don't need to tender again; they can pick you directly. This means less bidding competition per job, but you must be competitive when they do call you.
Tips for Small Businesses
- As a small business, you can partner with larger FM companies through the DPS or bid as a consortium — you don't have to go alone. Many public sector bodies prefer supporting SMEs, so mention this in your application.
- Being on a 5-year framework is valuable — it gives you stable access to public sector work without re-tendering every time. However, there's no guarantee of work; you're just pre-approved. Budget for the application cost and compliance but don't assume revenue.
- Check the full tender documents for 'social value' scoring — public sector contracts often award points for local employment, apprenticeships, environmental commitments, or community benefit. Small businesses often score well here; use it as a competitive advantage.
