Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council intends to procure demolition works to support its internal service provider, Leeds Building Services, and replace the Council’s existing framework. The requirement is for demolition services carried out for the Council in Leeds and potentially elsewhere in the United Kingdom. It is classified as demolition work (CPV 45111100) and is a works procurement. The planned requirement is organised as a single lot and is intended to support the Council’s ongoing building and property-related activities through its internal delivery arrangements. Businesses providing demolition and associated site clearance capabilities should monitor this procurement as the scope develops. The Council has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, broadening its potential supplier base beyond large national contractors.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leeds City Council has set out an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The Council expects to use a framework agreement for one lot. The estimated value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT, or £4,800,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2029, with a possible extension to 31 August 2031; renewal is planned. The Council expects the next notice to be published by 5 October 2026. It has also planned preliminary market engagement, with responses to the PME document requested by 9 April 2026 through the Council’s Jaggaer portal. These dates are the buyer’s indicative expectations, not tender deadlines.

The requirement is likely to suit demolition contractors able to deliver works for a local authority and support Leeds Building Services across a framework arrangement. It may be relevant to businesses with practical demolition expertise, suitable plant and equipment, competent site teams, and the capacity to manage works safely and consistently over a multi-year programme. The Council has expressly identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist firms and social enterprises should consider preparing alongside larger contractors. Businesses should use the market engagement stage to explain their demolition capability, geographic coverage, delivery capacity, experience of supporting public-sector or internal client teams, and any arrangements that would help the Council replace its current framework. This is preparation for a future procurement, not an opportunity to bid for now.
