Soft Facilities Management Contract - Cleaning and Physical Security Services for Stevenage Borough Council

Stevenage Borough Council is inviting suppliers to tender for a Soft Facilities Management Contract covering cleaning and physical security services across its Corporate Estate. The contract includes planned and reactive cleaning services for approximately ten corporately managed sites (offices, bus interchange centre, museum, and others), provision of end-user consumables, and hygiene bin services. Two main sites require physical security services: Daneshill House (Monday-Friday during normal working hours) and the indoor market (weekends only), with potential for ad hoc services. This is a single contract without lots, managed by one lead contractor responsible for full delivery. The lead contractor must directly deliver the cleaning element, though sub-contracting is permitted for other services. Key requirements include: minimum annual turnover of £800,000, experience delivering comparable contracts, mandatory Security Industry Council accreditation for the supplier and all staff, and preferably some public sector experience. Interested suppliers must express interest to access full procurement documents via the e-tendering portal at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home and submit a completed Pre Selection Questionnaire (PSQ) by the published deadline. All tender questions must be submitted through the portal in accordance with procurement documents.
