About this contract

The Borough Council of Wellingborough requires an Estate Management services provider to manage the Council's Investment Property Portfolio, to provide Facilities Management Services for this same Investment Property Portfolio and also Additional Property Services as required. These Additional Services must also be available to all district councils in Northamptonshire and also to the County Council at the provider's tendered rates. This requirement will continue after local government re-organisation too - anticipated Apr/May 2020 but not yet confirmed. The estimated contract value is based on the current annual cost of the services required by the Borough Council only, that is: the annual charge for each of the core Estate Management and FM services respectively plus annual expenditure on Additional services, both in support of these core services and ad hoc. Short-listed bidders will be required to provide a fixed annual fee for each of the core Estate Management and Facilities Management services, respectively, plus a schedule of rates for the Additional property related services. The demand for, and estimated value of, services that may be required by other district councils within Northamptonshire and the County Council is not known.
