About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    This is an expression of interest activity, rather than a more extensive market engagement exercise.

    We are analysing the market to identify suppliers that are capable of and interested in delivering this service.

    We would request that such suppliers respond to this Market Engagement exercise via email:

    1. Would your organisation be interested in, and capable of, delivering the above required Soft FM Services, estimated at circa. £30,000/annum?
    2. At this stage, LCCC intends to only award this as a Soft FM Contract, but we are open to proposals of suppliers who would be interested in, and capable of, providing an integrated Hard and Soft FM services contract, estimated at circa. £57,000/annum?

    This Market Engagement exercise does not commit LCCC to any amount of spend or procuring this service in any which way. LCCC will progress the option that is the most advantageous, in accordance with the procurement regulations.

    We would prefer organisations to reach out to us communicating their interest ASAP, with a formal deadline of next Friday 20th November 2pm.
