Tender: General Maintenance & Handyman Services – East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST)

About

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust is seeking two suppliers to provide reactive general maintenance and handyman services across its estate covering Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The Trust’s estate includes a headquarters, three emergency operations centres, depots, ambulance stations and response posts spread over about 7,500 square miles and supports more than 5,000 staff and 1,000 volunteers; suppliers must carry out non-urgent tasks such as unblocking toilets, repairing or replacing door closures, installing or removing notice boards, hanging doors, assembling or moving furniture, replacing lightbulbs and other minor estate repairs. Suppliers must also support the Estate Transformation Plan, which will replace parts of the current estate with a hub-and-spoke model creating 18 new hubs near hospital emergency departments; the requirement is split into two lots.
