UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is planning a procurement process to engage contractors for scaffolding provision as part of residential repair projects in Nottingham. The tender, titled "Housing - Provision of Scaffolding," is categorised under goods and specifically involves scaffolding (CPV classification: 44212310). The procurement process will be conducted through an open, below-threshold competition, and is expected to be advertised by the end of March 2026. Interested parties should monitor the East Midlands Tender Portal for publication updates, as it has been slightly delayed. The planned contract period will commence on 4th May 2026 and conclude on 3rd May 2030 in the UKF14 region.

This tender offers considerable business development opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SME) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) capable of servicing Nottingham City Council's needs in the scaffolding sector. As the tender aims to procure multiple scaffolding contractors via an open framework, businesses experienced in providing scaffold services for housing repairs should consider competing. Registering with the East Midlands Tender Portal will ensure notifications upon publication, allowing businesses the chance to tender for this valuable opportunity, which involves a significant project budget estimated at £4.2 million gross.
