UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Albans City and District Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for roof repair works at St Albans Museum & Gallery. This pre-market engagement seeks participation from prospective suppliers, primarily focused on roof works and other special trade construction works, located in St Albans, United Kingdom. The council is a sub-central government public authority, and interested suppliers are encouraged to engage through Supply Hertfordshire, with the initial deadline for participation set on 4th March 2026, and a future notice planned on 16th March 2026. This initiative will facilitate feedback from the market to aid decision-making on procurement strategies and solutions.

This tender offers excellent opportunities for roofing and construction businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to contribute to essential structural maintenance. The focus on roof repair creates a niche for businesses specialising in roofing and related trades to expand their portfolios and secure prestigious projects with public authorities. The process extends the chance to build partnerships, provide insights on market barriers, and suggest improvements regarding accreditations and warranties. Such pre-market engagement exercises can be especially beneficial for SMEs looking to increase their visibility and competitiveness within public sector projects.
