## Summary

Aberdeenshire Council is preparing for a future tender opportunity in the Hard Facilities Management (Hard FM) sector, with a market engagement event scheduled for late April 2021. The tender, titled "Future Tender Opportunity & Market Engagement Session - Hard FM," aims to enhance the delivery of Hard FM services across Aberdeenshire, which includes a variety of public properties. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a communication tool available to facilitate inquiries. Interested businesses are encouraged to register their interest and participate in the upcoming engagement session to gather further information and contribute feedback.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for contractors specialising in facilities management, particularly those offering planned and reactive maintenance services, mechanical and electrical work, and building fabric maintenance. Companies with expertise in managing maintenance across various property types, including operational buildings, social housing, and non-operational assets, will find this tender particularly relevant. As Aberdeenshire Council seeks to establish a framework of contractors through a dynamic purchasing system, this is an excellent chance for businesses to expand their service offerings and collaborate with public sector entities.
