Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is in the planning stage for a procurement process seeking expertise in commercial heating services. With the aim of establishing future contractual arrangements, the Council is conducting a pre-market engagement to gain insights into potential procurement options. The process involves stakeholders returning the Pre-Market Engagement form to a designated contact by 19th February 2026. The procurement titles focus on providing services related to water heaters, heating equipment, and infrastructures such as district heating and gas distribution, essential for buildings. These services will form part of a service-based contract running from September 2026 to August 2027, located in Leeds, UK, under the management of Megan Axall at Leeds City Council.

If your business operates within the realm of electric and gas heating solutions, plumbing and heating materials, or energy distribution, this tender offers a strategic pathway to expand your client base and enhance service portfolios.
