UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council is currently engaged in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Man Safe Systems Expression of Interest (EOI)". This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on safety equipment and health services, and is intended for the UK region. The council is conducting a market engagement exercise to inform its strategy for procuring ManSafe, Collective Edge Protection, and working-at-height safety systems, with a budget of £1,000,000. This early planning phase includes a milestone due on 21st January 2026, where interested suppliers are encouraged to participate via an online platform to help refine the future scope and requirements of the contract, which is scheduled to commence in December 2026 and continue till November 2030.

This procurement process presents significant business opportunities by inviting feedback on capabilities and innovations which will aid in shaping a transparent and efficient future tender. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in safety equipment installation or health and safety services may find this particularly lucrative. Engaging in this process affords businesses the chance to influence the purchasing strategy of a prominent public authority, potentially securing a substantial long-term contract while demonstrating industry expertise and commitment to high safety standards.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Man Safe Systems Expression of interest (EOI)

Notice Description

This EOI aims to gather market feedback on Westminster City Council's future procurement for ManSafe, Collective Edge Protection, and working-at-height safety systems, helping shape a compliant, transparent, and efficient contract. It seeks insights on supplier capabilities, innovations, commercial approaches, and asset-management practices to inform the commissioning strategy. This exercise is not a formal tender but is intended to assess market interest, capacity, and potential delivery models ahead of a planned procurement from 2026. Feedback will support WCC in refining scope, lotting, KPIs, and responsible-procurement expectations for the upcoming contract.

Planning Information

We will use this market engagement exercise to help shape the outline of our future contract. Once our Strategy and Route to Market are approved, we will proceed to formally advertise the competition in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The opportunity will be published on our eTendering platform, Jaggaer, which will also host the Expression of Interest documentation. Suppliers can access it directly via: https://wcc.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/.
