Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ealing Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Contract for Supplying, Installation, Maintaining & Repairing Fencing." This initiative falls under the industry category of erection of fencing, with additional classifications in safety fencing and fencing wire, and it is situated within London (postal code W5 2HL), United Kingdom. The procurement is initiated as a tender process aimed at addressing the substantial and diverse fencing stock across various locations such as parks, cemeteries, and allotments within the borough of Ealing. Key engagement milestones include an engagement end date scheduled for 2nd June 2025. The anticipated budget available for this procurement is £150,000 annually, with an emphasis on understanding market interest for potentially splitting the contract into smaller lots to better accommodate Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

This procurement exercise presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in fencing works, to engage with Ealing Council. Businesses with expertise in the supply, installation, maintenance, and repair of fencing are encouraged to participate, especially SMEs looking to leverage opportunities within a large borough like Ealing. Ealing Council is exploring ways to structure the contract to facilitate participation from a range of suppliers, including those interested in specific types of fencing or geographical areas, thus promoting fair competition. This pre-market engagement is a precursor to a formal procurement procedure expected to be advertised later in 2025, providing time for interested parties to understand the full scope and potential structure of the upcoming tender.
