EBS offer a traded service to schools, and aim to expand this to the wider market, becoming a regional leader for facilities management within the commercial sector. EBS aim to provide and maintain a property portfolio that reflects public and operational need and provides Leicester with a high quality, efficient, effective and sustainable built environment. In order to achieve this aim, EBS is focused on the following: • ensuring that our customers and services have sufficient good quality; space — in the right place and the right condition — to manage and deliver their services safely and effectively; • using our assets to enable new City development and regeneration; • optimising the value received from our investment portfolio; • delivering the best possible outcomes from investment and expenditure on assets; • generating value for our customers, our people and the community by ensuring that property-related services meet user requirements and future service delivery needs; • reducing our environmental impact. Leicester City Council is under increasing pressure to deliver high quality public services with continually reducing resources, since 2010 we have seen a reduction in our budget of GBP 122 million. This means we need to continually strive, for efficiencies whilst exploring opportunities to deliver new income streams. Leicester City Council proposes to enter into one or more contract(s) for a maximum period of 3 years with the successful supplier(s) with the option to extend for a period totalling no more than 12 months.
