UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VICO HOMES LIMITED, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, is initiating a procurement process titled "Site Cabins and Welfare Services." This procurement, currently in the planning stage, is designed to inform a contract strategy for the delivery of modular and portable buildings across the Wakefield district and other regions in the UK, with potential projects extending through to 2028/2029. The company owns and manages over 32,000 properties, with an estimated gross value of £1,000,000 for the upcoming projects. A market engagement notice has been published to seek feedback by 1 September 2026. The procurement process will use anticipated programme requirements, guiding the strategy for prospective tenders planned to commence on 1 December 2026.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the construction and delivery of modular, portable buildings and related services. Companies capable of providing high-quality site cabins and welfare services within the UK regions, predominantly UKE and UKF, will find this an excellent avenue to expand their business footprint. Businesses that can innovate in line with the proposed specification and delivery model will be well-positioned to participate in the tendering process, enabling them to contribute to and benefit from a series of up to 23 anticipated projects over the coming years.
