UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stoke on Trent City Council has initiated a planning stage for the re-procurement of a framework dedicated to kitchen and bathroom replacements, under the title "Kitchen and Bathroom Renewals Framework." This procurement pertains to the Repairs and Maintenance division, formerly known as Unitas, and is designed to address increasing demands due to the condition and age of the housing stock. The industry category involves building completion works, including electrical installation and site preparations, primarily suited for the West Midlands region. The procurement will be conducted through an Open Framework Agreement with a planned duration of up to 8 years, commanding an estimated value of £16,000,000. Interested parties are encouraged to engage in a preliminary market engagement exercise by submitting their responses to a questionnaire by 18 July 2025, which aims to refine the Council's approach to understanding market capabilities.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth among businesses specialising in fitted kitchens, site preparation, electrical installations, insulation, and overall building completion works. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in the aforementioned fields, will find this framework advantageous given its substantial estimated value and extended project scope. As the process aims to expand and enhance the delivery of kitchen and bathroom replacements, businesses capable of innovating and scaling operations to meet future demands will be well-suited to compete. Companies with robust strategies and high-quality service offerings are invited to participate in shaping the procurement framework by engaging in the initial planning phase and submitting questionnaire responses for the market engagement.

Notice Title

Kitchen and Bathroom Renewals Framework

Notice Description

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is seeking to re-procure a single framework on behalf of its Repairs and Maintenance division (formerly Unitas) for the provision of kitchen and bathroom replacements. These services were previously delivered through two separate, standalone frameworks. However, demand under the current framework has exceeded initial expectations. Following a survey of the housing stock, the age and condition of the properties highlighted the need to expand the scope of works-both to address current requirements and to meet anticipated future needs. Duration: Up to 8-years via Open Framework Estimated value: PS16,000,000 The market engagement process will be conducted through a questionnaire, allowing Stoke on Trent City Council to gather input from potential suppliers. This exercise is intended to enhance our understanding of the market's experience and capabilities. The insights gained will help shape the framework structure to ensure it maximises the potential for delivering this initiative on local scale. If you are interested in taking part in this process, please contact the procurement team on: Nicola.Smith@stoke.gov.uk to request the questionnaire. The deadline for submitting responses to the questionnaire is 18 July 2025.
