II.3)Information on framework agreement
II.4)Short description of nature and quantity or value of supplies or services:
As part of its Transformation Agenda, the Council of the City of Wakefield ("the Contracting Authority") is undertaking a Property and Facilities Management Project.
The Contracting Authority intends to use the competitive dialogue procedure of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended) to procure itself a public contract (or contracts) ("the Contract") with a linked framework agreement attached as an additional but secondary and separate component (see below).
The Contract will cover a wide range of services ("the Services") including without limitation the following:
- Building Services;
- Property and Asset Management;
- Facilities Management;
- Catering (primarily school meals);
- Cleaning;
- Miscellaneous building related services;
- Architectural design and related services.
With the exception of Architectural Design Services (and a number of smaller elements of the services provided by contractors), all of the above services are currently provided in-house by the Contracting Authority. The Contracting Authority is seeking innovative, economically efficient and forward-thinking solutions for the delivery of the Services by an economic operator in a way that will maximise the benefits to the Contracting Authority, all service users and the wider community.
Economic Operators shall note that the current main "customers" (other than itself and residents) to which the Contracting Authority provides these Services are schools and educational establishments within its area who are entitled but not required to obtain these Services from the Contracting Authority. It is envisaged that similar arrangements will continue to operate as part of the new contract and further details will be set out in the contract notice and tender documentation.
It is anticipated that services delivered under the Contract will commence on or around 1.7.2015.
It is intended that the Contract will be approximately 10 years in duration, with the possibility that this contract period may be extended by the Contracting Authority and full details of these arrangements will be set out in the contract notice and tender documentation.
The Contracting Authority therefore intends shortly to invite expressions of interest from economic operators in this procurement by placing a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The successful tenderer may be required to enter into a joint venture arrangement or a more straightforward contractual arrangement with the Contracting Authority. Full details of the Contracting Authority's requirements will be set out in the contract notice and tender documentation.
The Contracting Authority is also exploring the possibility of establishing a framework so that other contracting authorities such as other local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humber areas and publicly funded schools may call off similar property and facilities management services. Full details of any framework agreement(s) including the identity of any participating authorities will be set out in the contract notice and the tender documentation.
The work set out in this notice has been categorised as services under Service Category 14, but economic operators will note that the Contract will contain some elements of works.
Estimated cost excluding VAT:
Range: between 160 000 000 and 320 000 000 GBP

Economic operators shall note that the values stated in II.4 above relate to the estimated combined contract values of the Contracting Authority and schools in the Contracting Authority's area which may be split between a service contract and a framework agreement.

Whilst the Contracting Authority has identified West Yorkshire as the main place of delivery in section II.2, the Contracting Authority anticipates making the services available to local authorities and publicly-funded schools in the Yorkshire and Humber areas (NUTS code UKE).
