Essex Renewal Fund - Lettings & Facilities Management Services Soft Market Testing
Authority: Essex County Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Essex Renewal Fund (ERF) is a revolving investment fund for land and property projects within Essex that support Essex County Council's (ECC's) objectives.
Following a soft market testing exercise in January 2023, ECC competitively procured Fund & Asset Management services for ERF, and appointed Montagu Evans. We are now looking to procure Lettings & Facilities Management services for the Fund.
As the ERF portfolio is expected to be varied and change over the contract period of up to 10 years, the contract specification must be flexible, but pricing must be competitive and predictable. To help us design an appropriate contract and procurement process, please answer the questions using this link consultations.essex.gov.uk/procurement/c17c6cb0 ↗.
The deadline for responses is Noon on Monday 1st September 2025.
