What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionSupply and delivery of cleaning and janitorial products to Salford City Council properties.
- How the procedure runs: Stage 1 - Selection (PSQ and Eligibility Assessment) Suppliers will be assessed against the Selection Questionnaire (PSQ) and eligibility criteria. Only suppliers meeting the minimum requirements will be invited to progress to Stage 2. Stage 2 - Award Criteria Assessment Suppliers will be evaluated against the defined award criteria. Those achieving the required standard will be invited to progress to Stage 3. Stage 3 - Product Testing and Evaluation Suppliers' products will be subject to testing and evaluation to inform the final award decision.
- No preliminary market engagement: Preliminary market engagement was undertaken prior to the procurement process to inform the Council's understanding of the market and potential delivery approaches. This engagement was conducted in a proportionate manner, targeted at a broad range of relevant suppliers using existing market knowledge and open engagement channels. A preliminary market engagement notice was not published, as the Council considered that the approach taken provided sufficient market insight without restricting competition or creating barriers to entry. The engagement did not provide any supplier with an unfair advantage, and all information that may influence the procurement process has been made available to all bidders as part of the procurement documentation. The Council is satisfied that the procurement has been conducted in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner.
