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. ## Notice The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) are seeking to prior engage with the market in relation to our upcoming contractual requirements for Building Cleaning services across our 6 counties, with a contract go live date of March 2023.
