## Summary

Efficiency East Midlands Limited (EEM), a sub-central government public authority located in Alfreton, Derbyshire, is seeking to establish the EEM0082 - Property Maintenance and Responsive Repairs Framework. This procurement is undergoing the Tender Update stage as of June 2, 2026, and it aims to facilitate property maintenance and responsive repairs to be executed by December 7, 2026. The competitive framework is intended to replace the existing DPS, projected to expire in September 2026, and covers extensive works on domestic and commercial properties across various UK regions, categorised under construction and repair services. Key dates include a submission deadline of July 3, 2026, for stage one documents available since May 5, 2026, with stage two submissions closing by October 2, 2026. The framework's overarching value is approximately £500 million, divided among three main lots tailored to contract sizes or geographical coverage, expected to last up to four years with potential extensions.

This framework creates robust opportunities for businesses, particularly those specializing in construction, refurbishment, repair, and maintenance services, targeting both small-scale and large-scale operations. Engaging in this procurement could significantly enhance business growth by aligning services with public sector needs across England and Wales. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) particularly stand to benefit from the structured lot system, which encourages specialized engagements, potentially allowing up to 30 participants within the final framework. This opportunity is most suitable for firms equipped to handle comprehensive repair and maintenance projects and ensures retention of competitive evaluation based on pricing, quality, sustainability, and social value contributions.

## Notice

Efficiency East Midlands (EEM) is conducting this tender exercise to procure a Property Maintenance and Responsive Repairs Framework to replace our existing DPS0009 which will expire on 26th September 2026. The Framework, which is being procured as a Competitive Flexible Procedure, and will provide EEM Members with a provision for internal, external and whole house property maintenance, refurbishment and responsive repairs for our membership's property stock. The first stage of the procurement will consist of a procurement-specific questionnaire along with a pricing schedule, which bidders will be required to complete and submit for evaluation. As well as the above, EEM will require contractors to complete Minimum Competence and Best Practice Requirements Pass/ Fail Questions and additional Pass/ Fail questions. Following the evaluation and completion of Stage 1, Contractors who meet the minimum requirements and achieve the required threshold will be invited to participate in Stage 2 of the Competitive Flexible Procedure. Pricing will be carried forward from Stage 1 and Bidders will be evaluated in accordance with the tender documentation issued to the Bidders. Works delivered via this framework will be to domestic and commercial properties. Domestic properties will typically be consisting of a mixture of domestic housing stock, bungalows, blocks of flats, and sheltered housing schemes as well as garages, and depots and any other building owned and/or managed by our membership. Commercial properties will include but not be limited to business units, office buildings, hospitals and care facilities, academies, schools, colleges, universities, education centres, student accommodation, homes and care facilities for older people, children's homes and centres, community centres, leisure centres and gyms, libraries, pavilions, changing rooms and public toilets, outdoor leisure facilities, car parks, industrial units, depots, and garages. The Framework will be split into the following lots: Lot 1 - Whole House Internal and External Repairs and Maintenance (Contracts up to PS2m) Lot 2 - Whole House Internal and External Repairs and Maintenance (Contracts over PS2m) Lot 3 - Reactive Repairs and Responsive Repairs (Midlands Coverage) EEM reserve the right to appoint 10 contractors to each of the above lots. In addition to the Contractors appointed to each lot, EEM reserves the right to appoint a 'Reserve Bidder' for each lot, either at the same time as, or at any time during, the award and pre framework commencement stage. The Reserve Bidder for each lot will normally be the next highest ranked bidder following completion of the evaluation process for each lot, provided that their submission has met the required minimum evaluation standards. For the avoidance of doubt, if EEM appointed all 10 Contractors to Lot 1, 2 and 3, then the 11th placed bidder for each lot may be appointed as the Reserve Bidder. If all 10 places on a particular lot are not filled, EEM still reserves the right to appoint Reserve Bidders on those lots. Following the appointment of Successful Contractors, in the event that the Successful Contractor: *Makes a material alteration to the Bid which formed the basis of its selection as Successful Contractor (whether as to price or any other aspect of its Bid); *Does not comply with the provisions of this document; *In the reasonable opinion of EEM fails to make satisfactory progress towards signature of the Framework Agreement; and *In the case of any of the above, fails to remedy the situation to the reasonable satisfaction of EEM within a defined time period having been served notice in writing by EEM; i. EEM shall be entitled to de-select the Successful Contractor(s) and at the absolute discretion of EEM to exclude the Successful Contractor(s) from any further participation in the Procurement process or to introduce a further competitive stage in the Procurement process in which the Successful Bidder(s) may or may not (in the absolute discretion of EEM) be invited to tender. Under no circumstances will EEM or any of their respective advisors be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by the Successful Contractor and/or any of its Relevant Organisations due to or arising from. All Bidders must declare any relevant corporate relationships, including parent companies, subsidiaries, or associated entities, within their tender submission. Where more than one entity within a corporate group (including parent companies, subsidiaries, or entities under common ownership or control) intends to submit a Tender for this procurement exercise, EEM requires that those entities agree upon a single lead bidding entity (the "Lead Bidder"), with all other relevant corporate group members participating solely as named key sub-contractors to the Lead Bidder. Contractors (and/or subcontractors) are required to hold accreditations and qualifications as listed within the tender pack in order to be awarded a place on the Framework. This requirement ensures our Members can be confident they are appointing competent and compliant contractors. The documents for Stage 1 of the Competitive Flexible Procedure will available on Delta eSourcing from Tuesday 5th May 2026 with a submission deadline for Stage 1 of 14:00 on Friday 19th June 2026. For those contractors that progress to Stage 2 of the Competitive Flexible Procedure, the documents for Stage 2 will be available from Friday 7th August, with a tender submission deadline of Friday 18th September 2026 at 14:00.
