This procurement activity falls under the services category and is intended to engage with the market ahead of a formal tender process, in line with the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement process is focused on the West Midlands region, specifically Worcester, and involves a pre-market engagement scheduled until 29th April 2026. The RFI aims to gather insights into market capacity, gauge supplier interest, and ensure a procurement framework that is transparent and compliant. This RFI offers a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in cleaning services, particularly those specialising in building and window cleaning, to engage and potentially benefit from the upcoming tender. Companies with innovative cleaning solutions or those able to provide competitive cost estimates are well suited to participate in this preparatory stage. Engaging in the RFI process could provide these businesses with a strategic advantage, understanding market demands and aligning their offerings to meet the potential contract requirements set by the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner. ## Notice **THIS IS AN RFI ONLY** The West Mercia Police Contracts and Procurement Team, acting on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia and Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (the Authority), intends to undertake pre market engagement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 in relation to an upcoming Building and Window Cleaning Tender (Reference: 11737). This Request for Information (RFI) is issued as part of the Authority's preliminary market engagement activity to inform the development of the future procurement. The purpose of this engagement is to support compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 by improving transparency and ensuring the procurement is designed in a manner that is proportionate, delivers value for money, and reflects current industry accepted practices. The RFI seeks to help the Authority better understand market capability and capacity, gauge supplier interest, obtain indicative high level cost information (rough order of magnitude estimates), and identify any risks, innovations, or considerations that suppliers consider relevant to the scope, specification, and delivery model prior to the commencement of a formal procurement process. Participation in this RFI is voluntary and does not form part of any subsequent procurement process, nor does it commit the Authority to undertake a procurement or any participant to bid. Any future procurement will be conducted in compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Authority's statutory obligations, ensuring fair treatment, non discrimination, and that competition is not distorted as a result of this engagement.
