Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust is currently conducting a pre-market engagement for Building Cleaning Services as part of its planning stage, with a contract expected to commence in March 2023. The Trust manages approximately 126 buildings across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Essex, and is seeking input from suppliers regarding the scope and structure of the upcoming contract. The engagement period will conclude on 8 August 2022, and the potential procurement methods include an approved framework, Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), or an open tender process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the cleaning sector, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive services such as building cleaning, window cleaning, and supply of hygiene consumables. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate, especially if they are nimble and capable of mobilising quickly to meet project timeframes. Engaging in this pre-market process will allow businesses to influence the contract's direction and potentially secure a long-term relationship with a key public service provider.

We currently run the region under a sole supplier, outsourced supply contract and are considering splitting this region into sub-regions and are open to feedback on this. The proposed contract will be for an initial 3 years with optional extensions (likely 1+1 years). Our route to market will be either by an approved framework/DPS or by open tender. The Trust has circa. 126 buildings across its 6 counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex that provide key working locations for our Paramedic and support Teams.
