Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub (EoECPH) is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for a market engagement concerning Managed Neutral Vendor Services. This initiative aims to gather insights and connect with potential providers in the marketplace to assess interest, capability, and capacity to fulfil the service requirements. The procurement falls under the health services industry category, covering a wide range of diagnostic, decontamination, and hospital services. The process is set within the United Kingdom, specifically at Victoria House Capital Park, Fulbourn, CB21 5XB. The pre-market engagement will end on 10th March 2025, with interested parties required to submit their questionnaires by 12:00pm on the same date. The procurement value is anticipated to be GBP 40,000,000.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in diagnostic supplies, decontamination equipment, and various hospital and health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. Engaging in this process will not only provide an avenue to establish a four-year contract but also help shape the future framework of the service specifications. Businesses looking to innovate and expand their foothold in health services will find this market engagement advantageous. The use of the Atamis eTendering system allows for streamlined participation and assistance through its support channels.
