Published requirement description

The London Borough of Merton (“the Council”) invited tenders, from those suppliers

shortlisted in the initial Supplier Selection stage, to provide reactive and planned

preventative building maintenance services to the council’s properties within its operational

dry, and functional. The successful contractors must work in collaboration with officers to

ensure that buildings remain in operational condition, plant and materials are serviced and

maintained to ensure legal compliance, efficiency and reliability and where failures arise they

are repaired in a diligent fashion with minimal disruption to the building user.
