Decorating Materials, Cyclical Decoration & Tenant Options Vouchers

Efficiency East Midlands Ltd (EEM) is a not for profit consortium set up to drive cost and efficiency savings in the public sector.

Since 2010, EEM and its Members have worked together to deliver comprehensive yet simplified procurement solutions, which offer a wide range of compliant, competitive and high-quality products and services. EEM's vision is to develop a collaborative working approach, which delivers the fullest possible range of organisational, financial and social benefits.

EEM was formed in 2010 with five founding members, all housing providers determined to reap the benefits of collaborative procurement. Our membership has now grown to over 300 public sector organisations including Housing Associations and ALMO's, Local Authorities, NHS Trusts, Education Providers, Emergency Services, Government Agencies and Charities.

EEM also work in collaboration with 3 like-minded procurement consortia - Westworks, South East Consortium and Advantage South West. This means that on behalf of our Members, the Consortiums can utilise each other's Frameworks.
