The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with the engagement taking place to develop detailed requirements for cleaning services at DSFRS premises. This engagement, which ends on 7th February 2025, covers developing procurement strategies, identifying suppliers, and building market capacity. Interested parties are encouraged to express interest and participate in the consultation questionnaire through the e-tendering portal. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses providing building-cleaning services, including office and window-cleaning services. Companies with expertise in these areas can benefit from the potential for long-term collaboration with DSFRS. This engagement process aims to refine procurement strategies, making it ideal for businesses wishing to share their capabilities and requirements directly with the contracting authority, thereby positioning themselves as key suppliers. The procurement process supports firms operating within the United Kingdom and internationally, enabling a broad range of businesses to compete. ## Notice Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (the Service), welcomes early engagement from the market in support of developing the Service's requirements for the provision of Cleaning Services to its premises. The engagement also covers some broader areas which support developing the approach to the procurement, conditions of participation, identifying suppliers and building capacity in the market.
