UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is planning a broad programme of public procurement covering services and supplies across many sectors. The pipeline includes food and beverages; agricultural machinery; clothing and textiles; printed materials; chemicals; office, computing, electrical, communications and medical equipment; transport, security and fire-fighting equipment; furniture and cleaning products; construction; software and IT; repairs, maintenance and installation; hospitality, retail, postal and telecommunications; utilities; financial, insurance, property, architectural, engineering and inspection services; research, consultancy, legal, marketing and recruitment; education, health and social care; waste, cleaning and environmental services; and cultural, sporting, community and other personal services. The work is intended for the council’s area, with Stoke-on-Trent City Council as the buying organisation.

This is at the planning stage: the council has declared a procurement pipeline, rather than inviting tenders. The pipeline was described as covering the next 18 months, and any future procurements will be advertised separately if they progress. The council expects one planned lot, classified as services, with an indicative contract period from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £100,000,000,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000,000,000 including VAT. A future notice was expected on 23 September 2026. The procurement method, procedure, eligibility requirements and evaluation criteria have not been settled in this planning record. Businesses should therefore treat the dates and scope as early pipeline information rather than bid deadlines or final requirements.

This planning is potentially relevant to a wide range of suppliers, from specialist product manufacturers and distributors to contractors and professional, technical, operational and care-service providers. Businesses with capability in areas such as food supply, equipment, construction, IT, transport, facilities management, engineering, consultancy, education, health, social care, environmental services or community provision may wish to monitor how individual requirements develop. The breadth of categories also makes the pipeline potentially relevant to consortium partners, distributors and firms able to support larger public-sector supply arrangements. The council has not yet set out specific accreditations, staffing requirements, financial thresholds or experience tests, so preparation should focus on identifying the relevant service or supply category and being ready for a later, separate procurement.
