Fusion21 has announced the renewal of its national Workplace and Facilities Management Framework, worth up to £800 million over four years, and is inviting bids from interested suppliers providing regional or national coverage.
The procurement specialist is looking for suppliers that can manage the operation of non-domestic buildings – from single sites to larger portfolios. The framework will provide a range of FM services suitable for various building types, including hard and soft services, and is split into four lots:
- Lot 1 FM Principal Contractor (Total FM).
- Lot 2 Cleaning and Washroom Services.
- Lot 3 Security Services.
- Lot 4 Building Engineering Services.
Peter Francis, Group Executive Director (Operations), said: “In response to member and supplier feedback, our refreshed offer is due to launch in February 2025, and will facilitate the outsourcing of building management contracts to support built environment portfolios and enable organisations to focus on their core activities.
“This simplified and compliant framework will offer a fast route to market and updated pricing models, alongside supply chain innovation and efficiencies. Other benefits include flexible call-off procedures to streamline procurement activity.
“Fusion21 has a 22-year history of delivering procurement with purpose, and as with all of Fusion21’s frameworks, the Workplace and Facilities Management Framework will help members to deliver social value they can see in communities, aligned with their organisational priorities.”
Tender applications are welcome from interested suppliers that meet the criteria set out in the tender documentation.
