UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process focusing on the annual valuation of its commercial property portfolio, excluding dwellings. This pre-market engagement exercise aims to gather information, develop specifications, and determine a strategic procurement approach. Located in Leicester, UK, this initiative falls under the "Real estate services" industry category. The Council is conducting this exercise to identify prospective suppliers, with final submissions due by 29 August 2025. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their information through the EastMidsTenders portal. This is a preliminary exercise to assess market interest rather than a formal competitive tender.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses within the real estate services sector, particularly those with experience in asset valuations and an interest in collaborating with public authorities. The procurement process welcomes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in the exercise, providing them a chance to contribute to shaping future tender specifications. By participating in this engagement, businesses can influence the development of specifications and positioning themselves strategically for forthcoming competitive tenders. This engagement can be a gateway for companies aiming to establish or expand their presence within the public sector marketplace in the UK.

Notice Description

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council (LCC) is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise (PME) to gather information, ascertain the level of interest, develop an appropriate specification and determine the procurement approach the Authority may take to appoint a Supplier in the future for the annual valuation of LCC's commercial property portfolio, excluding dwellings (dwelling valuations are provided under a separate contract). Currently, asset valuation for these fixed assets is carried out in house. Suppliers shall note that this Pre Market Engagement Exercise (PME) is not a call for competition and responding to this advert, does not constitute a formal tender or result in the letting of a Contract.

However, Suppliers shall note that the Authority will have to comply with its legal obligations in any ensuing procurement exercise and that neither the intention nor the purpose of this PME is to confer any commercial advantage upon its participants. Further information about this exercise can be found in the PME documentation. Submissions must be received by 12:00 noon on 22 August 2025 at the very latest via the EastMidsTenders portal: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a48220a5-6f73-f011-813a-005056b64545.
