UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council intends to procure works to supply and install adapted bathing facilities in council housing across Leeds. The scope includes removing existing bathing facilities, installing wet-floor showers, over-bath showers and bath replacement trays, together with associated building works. This is a construction and housing adaptation requirement, classified under bathroom construction work (CPV 45211310). Suppliers should expect to work in occupied or existing council housing settings across the city, delivering practical bathroom alterations rather than standalone product supply. The requirement covers a single programme of public bathing adaptations, with the council acting as the buyer and responsible for housing services. Businesses specialising in bathroom adaptations, wet rooms, construction, refurbishment or related installation work should find the subject matter relevant.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leeds City Council has stated an intention to procure and has not yet issued an invitation to tender. The council expects to use a tender procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The estimated total value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT, or £4,800,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, with the possible maximum extension running to 31 August 2032. The buyer’s indicative date for the future notice is 11 January 2027. As part of preliminary market engagement, suppliers are asked to review the engagement material and complete questions in the Jaggaer technical envelope by 3 September 2026. The procurement is divided into one lot.

The work is likely to suit small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the council has identified the requirement as suitable for both. Businesses should prepare for a multi-year programme combining bathroom removal, wet-floor shower installation, over-bath shower installation, bath replacement trays and associated building work. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating practical capability in domestic bathroom adaptation, wet-room or accessible bathing installation, building refurbishment and coordinating multiple trades across council housing. Contractors with experience working in social housing or occupied properties may be well placed to respond to the eventual procurement, particularly where they can manage safe removal, installation, finishing and associated building repairs as one service. The planned market engagement gives potential suppliers an opportunity to help the council shape its requirement before tendering.
