UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council is exploring construction work for leisure and wellbeing hubs in Selby and Skipton, as part of its wider Leisure Investment Strategy. The strategy is phased, with Selby the first of four hubs due to receive varying levels of improvement. This initial market engagement covers both Selby and Skipton, but the Council intends to tender the two sites separately. The work is intended to improve the hubs; the Council is seeking market information to define the scope, assess feasibility and understand the solutions available. Delivery is in Selby and Skipton, North Yorkshire. This is a works requirement, rather than a purchase of leisure services or equipment.

The process is at planning: the Council is gathering information before preparing any tender, and there is no invitation to bid at this stage. Suppliers are asked to provide initial information through YORtender by 9 October 2026; a later supplier engagement event is planned, with its date still to be confirmed. The Council’s current estimated value for the requirement is £9.9 million excluding VAT (£11.88 million including VAT). The anticipated contract period is 1 December 2027 to 30 November 2028. The single market information exercise concerns both hubs, although each site is intended to have its own separate tender. The Council is using this engagement to shape the potential future specification; no award procedure or evaluation basis has yet been set out.

This preliminary exercise is relevant to construction businesses able to advise on the delivery and feasibility of leisure and wellbeing hub improvements in Selby and Skipton. Suppliers with experience developing or refurbishing leisure facilities may be well placed to explain practical options, scope, constraints and the range of solutions available. The Council has indicated that it wants market input to help draft specifications for two sites within a phased, four-hub investment strategy, so businesses capable of contributing informed early-stage advice may be suited to the engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the planned work. The procurement is still being shaped: the market’s feedback can inform the eventual requirements, while the two hubs are expected to be competed separately. No particular accreditation or technical qualification is stated.
