Essex County Council Estate Management- Market Engagement RFI

Introduction:

Essex County Council's (the Council) current Estate Management Contract ends on the 30th of September 2026. The Council has started on our journey of discovery, regarding how the Estate Management provision could evolve and innovate beyond this date and would like to engage with the Estate Management industry as part of this approach.

Market Engagement:

The Council is keen to engage with providers of Estate Management services through the form of an RFI. The RFI contains a range of themes which the Council is keen to hear from the market on to best shape our future Estate Management Provision.

For this RFI, we are keen hear from providers who can provide a large range of Estate Management services, covering the Council’s core, call off and property projects scope and who have experience delivering these services on contracts similar to the size and breadth of Essex County Council’s across a diverse range of property types and tenures.

If you are interested in participating, please visit the Essex Provider Hub, where the RFI can be found on the Live Surveys and Resources page https://www.essexproviderhub.org/facilities-management-and-property-re-procurement/live-surveys-and-most-recent-resources/ as well as on Pro Contract Project Dashboard DN760459. Further details of how to respond can be found within the RFI, but please ensure you have submitted your response through the message function on ProContract Dashboard DN760459 by 17th February 2025.

Following this initial RFI, the Council may choose to explore further some of the themes covered running specific engagements on these areas over the coming months.
