UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council is exploring contractors for kitchen replacement works across its social housing stock. The requirement covers capital kitchen replacement programmes and ad-hoc replacements arising from disrepair cases or tenant complaints. The work is primarily fitted-kitchen installation, with associated joinery, and is classified as works with a services element. Delivery will be across North Yorkshire Council’s social housing properties in North Yorkshire. The council is seeking market information to understand the scope of the requirement, the solutions available and the practical approach suppliers could offer, before preparing a possible future tender specification. The planned procurement is a single requirement rather than a divided lot structure, and the council has indicated that it should be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is at the planning and preliminary market-engagement stage; it is not an invitation to tender. The council expects to use the information received to shape the scope and specification of a potential future competition. Market engagement is scheduled for 29 September 2026, with the next notice expected by 30 November 2026. The estimated value is £6.5 million excluding VAT, or £7.8 million including VAT. The anticipated contract period is from 5 April 2027 to 4 April 2030, with a possible extension to 4 April 2032. The requirement is above the applicable threshold, covers one lot, and is intended to include a renewal option. Suppliers should treat the dates as the buyer’s current expectations rather than tender deadlines.

The work is likely to suit kitchen replacement contractors, building and refurbishment firms, joinery businesses and housing maintenance providers able to deliver fitted-kitchen installations at scale. Relevant preparation includes demonstrating competence in surveying, design coordination, removal and installation, joinery, finishing works and the management of remedial replacements triggered by disrepair or complaints. Suppliers with experience working in occupied social housing should be well placed, particularly where they can plan access, communicate with residents, protect homes during works and respond reliably to ad-hoc cases. The requirement may suit SMEs as well as larger contractors, provided they can manage a recurring capital programme alongside reactive workloads, coordinate supply chains and maintain consistent quality, health and safety, and customer service across North Yorkshire.
