Published requirement description

Translink are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified economic operators to participate in the pre-qualification process for the Facilities Management Framework. The framework objectives include striving for excellence, bringing improved efficiency and value, exceptional customer focus, taking action on climate change, connecting communities to the social, economic and environmental benefits of contract delivery. The successful Suppliers and Client team will work collaboratively as Integrated Delivery Partners to further develop these objectives. The framework will consist of 6 Lots: Lot 1 Office and Depot Cleaning Lot 2 Window and Specialist Cleaning Lot 3 Hygiene and Washroom Services Lot 4 Consumables and Managed Stock Lot 5 Cafe Services and Corporate Services Lot 6 Pest Control Each Lot will be evaluated separately and as such, Economic Operators can apply for as many Lots as falls within their expertise. Translink anticipate this framework will commence in April 2025 for a duration of 4 years with a further 4 annual extension options. The total estimated value of the framework is in the range of £32 - 40 million. For further information, please access the Facilities Management Framework Information document. Your response must be submitted via the relevant Call for Tender (CfT) on the eTendersNI portal.

  • Price: 50
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “FW68 Facilities Management Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
