UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living, a subcontracting authority within the public sector based in Kents Hill, United Kingdom, has initiated a procurement process for "External Improvements, Civils and Structural Works." This process is currently in the planning stage with a focus on conducting a preliminary market engagement. The projects fall under the construction industry category, specifically covering activities such as construction work, civil engineering, and building construction work, with the geographical scope spanning several regions in the UK, including UKG, UKE13, UKF, UKH, and UKJ1. The procurement process aims to gather insights through a Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire, which needs to be completed and submitted electronically by 2nd December 2025. The contract is expected to have a significant budget, potentially amounting to £15 million, with a planned start date of 1st December 2026.

This tender provides a considerable opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and civil engineering to secure a large-scale, long-term contract. Companies involved in access roads, footpath construction, drainage, and utility infrastructure could particularly benefit from participating in this procurement process. Additionally, businesses offering services related to external works such as installation of street furniture, lighting, and fencing will find the project well-aligned with their capabilities. Participating in this market engagement phase allows potential suppliers to influence the terms and conditions, specifications, and performance metrics of the forthcoming tender, potentially ensuring that the final bidding process reflects realistic commercial considerations beneficial to their operations.
