Summary of the contracting process

The Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process related to the establishment of a Total Facilities Management Framework Agreement. This engagement targets the facilities management services sector, with a range of services including Managed Hard FM, Soft FM, and Total FM service categories, along with specific services like cleaning, catering, security, grounds maintenance, and pest control. Taking place at their London address, this initiative offers supplier engagement opportunities prior to the competitive tender process, commencing on 28th February 2026. Suppliers are invited to express their interest before the deadline on 19th December 2025 and initiate registration via the Atamis e-sourcing platform.

This procurement process represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the Facilities Management sector to engage in a significant framework agreement valued at approximately £6 billion. The initiative is particularly advantageous for SMEs given the suitability criteria for smaller enterprises, opening growth avenues through various service lots. Businesses specialising in facilities management, including repair and maintenance of building installations, cleaning, sanitation, and more, will find this tender suitable. Engaging in this project may offer long-term partnerships, with framework agreements spanning until 2030, subject to renewal until 2034, fostering substantial growth and market visibility for successful bidders.
