Multi-Disciplinary M&E A multi-disciplinary provision for contractors capable of delivering works across a number of mechanical and electrical disciplines.

This may include planned programmes, responsive works, servicing and maintenance contracts requiring a coordinated M&E delivery solution.

NHMF Frameworx is particularly keen to engage with Northern Ireland-based contractors, SMEs and specialist providers to understand the capability and capacity of the local supply chain and to ensure that the proposed framework structure provides appropriate opportunities for organisations of different sizes and specialisms.

The purpose of the preliminary market engagement is to seek feedback from both contracting authorities and the supply market on matters including the proposed scope, lot structure, geographic coverage, contract values, delivery models and any barriers that could prevent suppliers from participating.

Feedback received will be used to inform the development of the procurement strategy and tender documentation.

Participation in this preliminary market engagement does not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process and does not represent any commitment by NHMF Frameworx or participating organisations to proceed with the procurement.

Free to start. Named contacts come from published notices; the strategy is generated from the buyer’s news, accounts and people.

Five included while we’re in beta, and the agent asks before it spends on any paid step.
