Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation is currently planning a procurement process titled "Minor Works - Soft Market Testing Questionnaire," which is focused on building construction work within the United Kingdom. The engagement for this procurement is ongoing, with a critical deadline for submitting market testing questionnaires set for 15 May 2017. This procurement process encompasses works across various locations in London, including the Square Mile, West End, and parts of South East England. It aims to gather insights from the market in preparation for future tendering related to minor works, which typically sees an annual spend that ranges from £8 to £9 million.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, installation, and building completion work, particularly those capable of handling minor projects with values mostly under £50,000. With over 400 individual works orders anticipated each year, suppliers that can demonstrate flexibility and capacity to respond to varying demands throughout the year will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with the City of London Corporation early in the process may help establish valuable connections and gain insights into forthcoming contract opportunities.
