## Summary

The Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust is seeking bids for a tender entitled "Cleaning, Catering (Hostess) and Portering Services". This procurement falls under the facilities management services industry and is located in the East of England, UK. The tender is currently in the active stage and will close on 21 June 2019. The estimated total value of the Framework Agreement is approximately £52 million over a four-year period, with an initial contract period starting on 1 January 2020 and ending on 31 December 2023. The procurement method being employed is a selective procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning, catering, and portering services, particularly those that are prepared to meet compliance with national standards for clinical areas. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may find a competitive edge in delivering tailored services that align with the needs of the healthcare sector. Engaging in this tender could facilitate substantial growth and establish lasting partnerships within the NHS framework.

## Notice

The Authority is looking for Cleaning, Catering and Portering Services to replace the current, bundled service contracts held by NCHC and NSFT. The cleaning service will, in many cases, be in clinical areas and so compliance with relevant national standards are applicable. The catering service is essentially a hostess service - the serving of cook-chill or cook-freeze meals on site. The estimated total value of the resultant Framework has been calculated as follows: Four year contract for each service for NCHC = PS10.2 million approx. Four year contract for each service for NSFT = PS15.5 million approx. The Authorities are able to put additional contracts in place prior to the end of the Framework period for up to another four years. This would bring the maximum potential value for this framework to PS52 million approx. The remaining PS8 million has been included to allow other named Authorities to utilise the framework agreement during the term.
