UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council intends to appoint a main contractor for significant alterations, refurbishment and fit-out of the existing Mill Academy building. The works also cover external improvements, including highways, parking, drainage and recreational facilities. This is a construction project combining building refurbishment and fit-out with related civil engineering and external works. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the Council has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It is undertaking preliminary market engagement, scheduled to conclude on 13 November 2026. The Council’s expected date for the next notice is 5 April 2027; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The planned contract period runs from 23 August 2027 to 28 April 2028. The process is described as a procurement exercise to appoint a main contractor. No evaluation basis or procurement method is stated at this stage.

The work is likely to suit main contractors able to manage a substantial building refurbishment and fit-out alongside external works. Relevant delivery capability includes coordinating alterations to an existing building with highway, parking, drainage and recreational-facility work. The Council has marked the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so firms of that scale may also be relevant, particularly where they can deliver the required breadth of work or contribute as part of a delivery team. Suppliers can use the planned market-engagement stage to understand the Council’s requirements before the tender is published. The stated scope does not set out particular accreditations or technical qualifications.
