Supplier pre-market engagement for Building Cleaning Services

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) are seeking to prior engage with the market in relation to our upcoming contractual requirements for Building Cleaning services across our 6 counties, with a contract go live date of March 2023.

Likely in scope will be building cleaning, window cleaning, periodic cleans and potentially feminine hygiene and consumables supply. We currently run the region under a sole supplier, outsourced supply contract and are considering splitting this region into sub-regions and are open to feedback on this.

The proposed contract will be for an initial 3 years with optional extensions (likely 1+1 years). Our route to market will be either by an approved framework/DPS or by open tender.

The Trust has circa. 126 buildings across its 6 counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex that provide key working locations for our Paramedic and support Teams. We are best known for the 999 emergency service we provide with our dedicated and skilled staff working 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to make sure patients receive the best possible care.

We would like to engage suppliers within the cleaning sector to provide both notification of the upcoming opportunity for tender and to gather information to help support our scope and specification development.

Key areas of interest are:

• Regional split/lotting • Ability to tender and mobilise to project timeframes • Market situation (employment, supply chain, others) • Envisaged Contractual restraints • Incentivisation and KPIs • Social value
