UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees is buying and arranging delivery of highways materials and tools for its in-house highway services, covering routine maintenance and larger improvement schemes in town centres. The framework is divided into three lots: civil engineering materials such as cement, drainage and ducting materials, manhole covers, gully grates, road-marking materials and timber; site-safety products including cones, signs, barriers, danger lamps and footway boards; and tools and consumables such as hand tools, wheelbarrows, buckets, replacement blades and sandbags. Deliveries will go to Council depots or work sites in Kirklees, with locations specified for orders. Products are specified by performance and relevant British Standards, or by quality and compatibility with equipment already in use.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure for a three-lot framework. The enquiry deadline was 13 November 2026 at 13:00, and tenders were due by 23 November 2026 at 13:00; the planned award decision date was 9 December 2026. The framework is scheduled to run from 18 December 2026 to 17 December 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions. Its estimated value is £1.8 million excluding VAT (£2.16 million including VAT). Each lot is evaluated on price alone, with supply and delivery costs forming the price assessment; suppliers are also asked to price collection where needed. For individual call-offs, the lowest-priced supplier is ranked first, subject to capacity and delivery timescales. Higher-value orders may be competed on price.

The opportunity suits suppliers able to provide one or more of the three product ranges, including civil engineering and drainage materials, road-marking products and timber; site-safety equipment; or general tools and consumables. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable for all lots. Suppliers need to offer dependable delivery to the Council’s depots and work sites and be able to fulfil orders in full within the required timescales. Product performance must meet relevant British Standards where applicable; tools and consumables should meet the required quality and, where relevant, work with equipment already used by the service. The Council may request product data sheets. Suppliers should be prepared to provide priced supply and delivery, and collection prices when required, and to compete on price for orders and any new items added to a lot’s price list.
