UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is exploring future contractual arrangements for the supply of power tools to Leeds Building Services. This is a goods procurement covering power tools for use in the council’s building services operations. The requirement is intended for suitably qualified and experienced organisations able to supply the relevant tools. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom, with the purchasing organisation based in Leeds. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is presented as a single requirement rather than a range of separately described work packages. Businesses supplying power tools to public-sector maintenance, construction or building-services teams should regard this as a potential future supply requirement, rather than a services or construction contract.

The process is at the planning stage: Leeds City Council has set out an intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with a possible renewal or extension period up to 31 March 2035. Its estimated value is £960,000 excluding VAT, or £1,152,000 including VAT. The council plans preliminary market engagement, with engagement scheduled by 18 September 2026, and indicates that a subsequent notice is expected on 29 October 2026. The published planning information does not set out a tender procedure, submission deadline or evaluation criteria. The requirement is one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is likely to suit established tool distributors, manufacturers and specialist suppliers with experience supplying power tools to building maintenance or construction customers. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate relevant product knowledge, reliable sourcing and the operational capacity to support a multi-year public-sector supply arrangement. Experience of serving facilities-management, housing, local-authority or other large maintenance organisations would be relevant to the stated requirement for suitably qualified and experienced organisations. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable, so the scale should be accessible to capable specialist firms as well as larger suppliers. Potential participants should use the planned market engagement to explain available product ranges, supply resilience, delivery arrangements and any relevant quality or technical credentials.
