Description

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.

The Council's current scope includes both Core and Call off services as well as Property Projects.

The majority of the Essex County Council estate is freehold, and the core scope covers areas including lease events, leasehold transactions, rent reviews, estate finance accounting, rent arrears, inspections, plans and licenses. The call off scope is wide ranging including acquisitions, disposals, rent reviews, valuations, rates appeals and dilapidations although the above is not exhaustive list of the core and call off services required by ECC.

Within the Property Projects section, the Council seeks strategic advice on areas such as compulsory purchase orders and Part 1 Claims, planning applications and projects, property review and appraisal and development consultancy advice.

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.

To be notified of our upcoming events please visit the Essex Provider Hub and complete the form on the Introduction tab https://www.essexproviderhub.org/facilities-management-and-property-re-procurement/introduction/.
