UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is planning a procurement process titled "LBS Electrical Periodic Domestic Testing and Remedials," aimed at electrical installation work within domestic properties. The project, located in the East and South Housing areas of Leeds, falls under the "works" category in the electrical installation industry. It involves conducting electrical testing and remedial works, including circuit board replacements and smoke detection installations across up to 3,500 properties. The procurement is in the planning stage, with the process initially announced in March 2026, and an updated pipeline notice published in May 2026. The communication suggests preparations for a future notice to be issued by November 2026, with work projected to start in May 2027 and potentially continuing through to May 2031, reflecting an extensive contract period with renewal options.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for SMEs, particularly in the electrical installation sector, to engage with public-sector contracts with gross projected values up to GBP 3.36 million. Firms equipped to handle design, installation, commissioning, and testing in compliance with the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) will find this tender suitable. Beyond financial growth, awarded businesses will strengthen their portfolios with significant governmental project experience, enhancing their standing in future competitive bidding. The procurement encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs, and thus could be highly beneficial for smaller, specialised electrical firms aiming to expand their reach.
