Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council is currently engaging in a preliminary market engagement process for the upgrade of kitchens across residential properties within the Borough of Swindon, under a planned procurement scheme with an estimated gross value of GBP 7,200,000. The procurement process is at the planning stage, with an initiation type of tender. The industry categories involved include kitchen furniture and equipment, site preparation work, building installation, and various finishing works such as plastering, joinery, flooring, and decoration. The region of focus is UKK14 in the United Kingdom, and interested suppliers must submit their preliminary engagement responses by 20th June 2025. The tender activities are planned to commence on 1st April 2026 and continue through 31st March 2029, with the possibility of renewal extending until March 2031.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses in the construction and home improvement industries, particularly those with expertise in kitchen installations and associated works such as electrical and decorative services. With the projected delivery of 1,300 kitchen upgrades over a five-year period, companies capable of providing end-to-end service—from design and supply to installation and tenant engagement—will find themselves well-suited to compete. This tender allows businesses to collaborate with a public authority and potentially secure a long-term partnership with Swindon Borough Council, offering a stable workflow and increased visibility in the public sector market.
