II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The current Facilities Management (FM) contract is delivered through Sussex Estates and Facilities (SEF), a Joint Venture owned by the University (majority shareholder) and the current partner, Mitie.
Sussex is seeking a Supplier who can ensure that SEF offers an excellent service quality and
value for money. This must be founded on high levels of innovation, the intelligent use of
technology and opportunities to capitalise on the benefits associated with working with an
external Supplier, including the willingness to bring investment on a ‘spend to save’ basis.
The FM Services agreement will be between the University and SEF, however it is the
Supplier's responsibility to manage and lead the SEF team to deliver the required level of
service in a cost effective manner.
Unlike the current contract, the University has chosen a hybrid model of delivery. Service lines to
be included in the new FM Services agreement are outlined below with further details provided in the Descriptive Document contained within the Procurement Pack.
• Facilities Management Services (including Event Management Services)
• Building Fabric, Mechanical & Electrical and Infrastructure Maintenance Services
• Cleaning Services
• Security Services
• Helpdesk Services
• Logistics Services
• Waste Services
• Transport Services
• Print and Reprographics Services
• Grounds Maintenance Services (including Sports Grounds and Pest Control)
The FM Services agreement covers all of the University’s Premises. This is predominantly on
the main campus in Falmer, with a smaller collection of buildings on other sites, in the centre
of Brighton and in Falmer Village itself.
The University has opted to use the Competitive Dialogue procedure to conduct this procurement.
