Request

I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding facilities management, estate management and/or commercial building maintenance tenders undertaken by your organisation. 

Specifically, I would like to request the following information: 

Tender Process 

  • Anticipated return to market dates for any relevant tender notices or advertisements and the expected platforms to be used. 
  • Any minimum requirements (financial, professional, or otherwise) that bidders will have to meet. 

Contract Award Details 

  • The name of the successful contractor(s), along with the total contract value and duration detailing if these are fixed service costs or reactive and project works / combined. 
  • The contract commencement date, duration and potential extensions, if included. 
  • A summary of the services included in the contract. 
  • A record of any significant changes or variations to the scope of works, contract value, or timeframe since contract award. 

Documentation 

  • Copies of the tender return documents for the current service provider that are not exempt from FOI requests.

Response

The descriptions you have given are very generic however, details of all the Council’s existing contracts can be found on the Kent Business Portal at https://www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk/ and this may provide much of the information you have requested.  If there is a particular contract that you need further information about, then please submit an FOI request in respect of a specific contract.
