UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited intends to procure DeWalt power tools for its operations. The requirement is for the supply of branded power tools, delivered after receipt of a purchase order to the buyer’s locations in Solihull, Worcester and Louth. This is a goods contract rather than a works or services requirement, with power tools as the stated procurement classification (CPV 43830000). Suppliers should therefore be able to provide the required DeWalt product range and arrange reliable delivery to multiple locations. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Solihull. The requirement covers supply and delivery, rather than tool hire, maintenance, installation or construction work. It may suit manufacturers, authorised distributors, wholesalers and specialist trade-tool suppliers with suitable stock and distribution arrangements.

The process is at the planning stage: Platform Housing Limited has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use a tender procedure, with an open procurement method, for one lot. The estimated gross value is £1,875,000 including taxes. The planned contract period is from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with a possible renewal or extension to 31 October 2030. The buyer expects the next notice to be published by 1 September 2026. A pre-engagement questionnaire is scheduled to be sent to potential suppliers after they submit an expression of interest, with responses due by 31 August 2026. The single lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This requirement should suit suppliers already operating in the power-tools market, particularly businesses with access to the DeWalt range, established trade or housing-sector customers, and the capacity to fulfil purchase orders across several buyer locations. Useful preparation will include checking product availability, pricing, lead times, delivery coverage and arrangements for handling repeat orders over a multi-year contract. Businesses should be ready to demonstrate that they can supply genuine, compliant products and manage distribution reliably, although the procurement information does not identify specific accreditations, technical qualifications or minimum experience requirements. The lot is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller distributors and specialist suppliers may wish to consider participating in the planned market engagement and shaping their response before the tender is issued.
