UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited is preparing a multi-lot building compliance tender covering ventilation, air-conditioning, catering equipment, sewage treatment works, playground equipment, lightning conductors and fall-protection equipment, radon surveys, water mains and drainage. The work combines building-services maintenance with specialist inspections, treatment systems and equipment-related services. The buyer has widened the scope and revised its specifications following earlier market engagement, and is consulting again before issuing the tender. The listed requirements are intended to be procured together, except for playground equipment, which Platform Housing says will be procured separately because of its value and nature. The buyer is based in Solihull, but the stated procurement information does not identify delivery locations.

This is at the planning stage: Platform Housing has set out its intention to procure and is conducting preliminary market engagement; it has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to revise and issue the tender after engagement. Interested parties are invited to complete a questionnaire by 6 October 2026; this is for shaping the specification and registering interest, and does not commit suppliers to tender. The planned contract period is 18 January 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a possible extension to 31 March 2033. The estimated value is £4.6 million excluding VAT (£5.52 million including VAT). The planned procurement is divided into specialist work areas, with playground equipment to be procured separately. The available information does not set out the intended procedure, participation requirements or evaluation criteria.

The planned work is likely to suit building-compliance and maintenance contractors, as well as specialist suppliers able to deliver one or more of the technical areas: ventilation and air-conditioning; catering equipment; sewage treatment; playground equipment; lightning protection and fall-protection equipment; radon surveys; water mains; or drainage. The buyer has widened the scope after earlier engagement, so suppliers with experience across relevant building services or specialist disciplines may wish to contribute to the consultation and help shape the revised specification. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable for the listed lot. The scale spans several distinct technical services, and suppliers may consider which areas match their expertise and delivery capacity ahead of the later tender. No specific accreditations or experience thresholds are stated at this planning stage.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Building Compliance - Multi-Lot Tender

Notice Description

On the 21st March 2025 Platform issued a pre-market engagement notice called Building Compliance - Multi Lot Tender (notice identifier 2025/S 000-010571). This was issued with the intention of carrying out pre-market engagement ahead of issuing a tender notice and Invitation to Tender. However, after the pre-market engagement sessions we reflected on our requirements and took time to improve our specifications and widen our scope. Therefore, we are reissuing this pre-market engagement notice with the intention to issue the revised tender out to the market post engagement. The scope of works includes: * Lot 1 Ventilation * Lot 2 Air-conditioning * Lot 3 Catering Equipment * Lot 4 Sewerage Treatment Works * Lot 5 Playground Equipment * Lot 6 Lightning Conductors and Falls Protection Equipment * Lot 8 Radon Surveys * Lot 9a - Water Mains * Lot 9b - Drainage Lot 7 is missing as, due to the value and nature of the requirement, will be procured separate to this tender.
