How to win: Voids Disinfection - Preliminary Market Engagement

About this contract

Swindon Borough Council invites you to contribute to preliminary market engagement in relation to the disinfection of void properties and would therefore welcome the views of suppliers on the questions set out in the attached questionnaire. Responses to this questionnaire will be used solely for this pre-tender exercise and any responses will not be referred to during the tender evaluation. To this end, tender-style responses to this questionnaire are not necessary - the intention is to invite supplier feedback on the options, to help shape the final specification and commercial model to ensure the tender delivers the optimum outcomes for the Council. The Council intends on tendering a package of works in relation to the disinfection of void properties (anticipated to be around 650 per annum) prior to occupation by the incoming resident or as they move in, you may also be asked to carry out a disinfection prior to the void contractor commencing works within the property. The contract is for a period of 2 years + 1 year. . The works will consist of disinfection of all hot and cold pipework, point of use water heater, combi boilers, cylinders being disinfected and cold water storage
