The full scope of this procurement will be set out within the PQQ and ITT documentation (when read together).
This procurement aims to establish a term contract between The Cornwall Council and the successful supplier to undertake the delivery of The Cornwall Council's asset and estate management. The Cornwall Council will retain a contract management structure to commission services, but the obligation for delivering the services shall be placed with the successful supplier. The arrangement shall be based on a bespoke contractural agreement for a duration not exceeding 10 year, subject to break clauses and termination events. The existing Cornwall Council staff performing the services (between 20 and 30 employees) shall, where the rights apply, be subject to the law relating to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations 2006.
The Cornwall Council has a broad and varied portfolio of assets which are generally classifiedas operational or non-operational. The assets range from offices, schools, youth centres, harbour buildings, public parks, structures (man made and natural), and many more, all the way through to minor rights of way on a specific site. These assets include corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments which will all form part of the successful suppliers duty to manage.
The services will be split into two main types - reactive and term. The term services will be commissioned annually based on a set programme or volume of services. The reactive services will be commissioned as and when they are required.
It is a fundamental requirement of this procurement that the successful supplier has an asset management system (with internet based access for the client) that will manage all of The Cornwall Council's data and allow The Cornwall Council to view the data and extract reports from it. There will also be a requirement for this system to link into The Cornwall Council's Oracle system for data transfer purposes.
Whilst there is no guarenteed quantity of work or spend, it is estimated that the potential works value will be between GBP 1,000,000 to GBP 2,000,000 per annum over the life of the contract, subject to changes in The Cornwall Council's policy and budget.
