UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council intends to procure works to replace the existing modular classroom at Seacroft Grange Primary School, which is no longer fit for purpose. The requirement covers the supply, installation and refurbishment of a shipping-container or other container-based solution, forming a new single-storey building. The completed facility is intended to provide up to 32 additional school places. The wider scope includes re-provision of the school’s existing special educational needs accommodation and three general teaching spaces. This is a school construction project, classified under CPV 45214200. The work will be delivered at Seacroft Grange Primary School in Leeds. It is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and Leeds City Council is the commissioning public authority.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leeds City Council has announced its intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. The council has scheduled preliminary market engagement, with an engagement milestone due on 27 July 2026, and expects a subsequent notice on 18 August 2026. The planned contract period is from 9 November 2026 to 27 August 2027. The estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT and £3,600,000 including VAT. The procurement is for works and is below the relevant threshold. The requirement is one lot, currently in planning, and the council has indicated that the lot is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The work is likely to suit a construction contractor able to manage a complete school accommodation project, including design coordination, supply, installation, refurbishment and delivery of a container-based or similar modular building. Relevant businesses will need experience of creating single-storey educational accommodation and of working across replacement and refurbishment activities within an existing primary-school setting. The scope should interest firms with capability in classroom construction, building services coordination, internal fit-out and the adaptation or re-provision of specialist SEN and general teaching spaces. The buyer has indicated that the requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller contractors and mission-led organisations with the necessary construction capacity may wish to prepare for the market engagement and future procurement.
