## Summary

Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust has initiated a procurement process for general building and decorating services across community healthcare estates in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire. Currently in the planning stage, a Request for Information (RFI) is available to engage with the market and shape the future tender. This preliminary market engagement notice aims to gather insights for structuring the tender documentation and finalising the procurement strategy. Interested parties are encouraged to participate by 20th January 2026. The procurement, valued at £6,000,000, falls under the 'works' category and covers building services, interior decorating, and related activities.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and interior decorating to expand their operations in the UK healthcare sector. Companies that can offer solutions for both occupied and unoccupied environments are particularly well-suited for this project. The procurement is inclusive, encouraging participation from SMEs and voluntary community social enterprises. Businesses located in regions UKH12, UKH14, UKH15, UKH16, and UKH17, or those with existing operations in these areas, will find it especially beneficial to engage with this opportunity, potentially leading to a long-term contract lasting until 2030.
