UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council initiated a project to replace and upgrade external doors and glazing at Rosliston Forestry Centre, located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. The procurement process, tagged under goods in the public authority - sub-central government category, was intended to enhance accessibility, durability, and energy efficiency of the site's infrastructure, including settings such as the visitor centre and café. The purchasing body employed an open competition procurement method, with documents initially published on 19 June 2025. However, after the tender stage, the process failed to secure suitable bids by the final closing date, leading to its cancellation on 9 September 2025. The project initially had a contract period from 8 September 2025 to 17 October 2025, with a procurement value of £55,000.

The initiative presented substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and glazing products to partner in enhancing the sustainability and accessibility of a key community facility. The tender was tailored for SMEs and VCSEs, showcasing an excellent growth opportunity for these sectors through direct engagement and service provision. Businesses with expertise in installing durable materials, such as aluminium frames and double-glazed units, and meeting the specifications compliant with the Equality Act 2010, would be well-suited to compete, especially as the council plans to re-run the tender. Early market engagement provided a platform to influence project specifications, a strategic advantage for those attending the supplier day held on 24 April 2025.
