Total Quantity or Scope

The University of Bristol (UoB) is looking for a Washroom Service solution to include the supply of Hygiene disposal units and provide a service for the collection and waste disposal of sanitary, nappy, and offensive waste. It is anticipated that the duration of this contract agreement will be for a 3-year period with possibility of a 2 x 12-month extension subject to funding. The purpose of this PIN Notice is to understand the number of service providers avaialable in the market and the different approaches to servicing the contract that can be offered. The University's current preferences for the contract are set out below; however, these may be amended dependent on what we learn during this soft market testing phase: The washroom bin service will need to be delivered on a scheduled and reactive basis where upon each visit, units shall have contents removed, be stringently sanitised and bags renewed. Ideally bins shall be removed and disinfected and returned or replaced at no cost to the University. The hygiene disposal units supplied shall be of high-density plastic which will not deform, or of stainless steel, shall have a smooth easy clean surface and be provided with a tight-fitting lid and must be hands free. This shall be designed so that the contents of the unit are not visible when the flap is in the open position. Units shall be charged with approved germicidal agent, which shall not be inflammable, in sufficient quantities and concentration to prevent a health risk arising from the unit for a period of at least eight weeks. Safety data sheets and samples of germicidal agent to be used must be provided. An alternative option that provides the same protection would be considered, details of which need to be provided along with all the necessary safety data sheets. There are approximately 1500 (20L) disposal units and 3 nappy units that shall be required to various premises within the University Campus. Frequency of scheduled visits should be every 4 weeks. Also, where there are other high traffic areas, these will require weekly and fortnightly collections. Adhoc collections may be required, and these are to be carried out within 48 hours of request. A schedule of service will be required each month stating the dates collection would be made on each building. Interesed contractors are invited to respond to this PIN by sending a short email to katie.stapleton@bristol.ac.uk with the subject heading ‘Washroom Services Marketplace engagement’ by close of business 17th March 2021. The email should include: - Contact details - A short summary (1/2 page maximum) of previous relevant services delivered - Likely interest in bidding for such procurement - Oservations or any information you feel is relevant or suggestions on how your organisation could add value through delivery of such contract. - Confirmation of whether or not your business is an SME. Following this date, we anticipate inviting contractors for a short virtual presentation to be held on Monday 22nd March 2021. Upon receipt of the expressions of interest, and the information only submissions, further details of the formal presentation and attendance instructions will be made available. This is an opportunity for Small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) business within the local market to express an interest. If UoB receive a significant level responses to this notice then our approach is to dedicate this to SME’s business in the first instance. If you do not receive an invite to participate in the market engagement presentation this does not mean you will not be considered to take part in the formal tender process.
