UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

E-ACT intends to appoint a preferred supplier to supply and install internal protective wall coverings in its academies. The coverings are intended to protect interior walls from the wear and tear of school life while also being aesthetically pleasing. This is a supply-and-install requirement for education settings, rather than a supply-only purchase. Delivery is described as being across the United Kingdom.

The procurement is at the planning stage: E-ACT has announced its intention to begin a procurement, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 16 November 2026. Its preliminary engagement invites interested suppliers to register by 13 November 2026. The estimated value is £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT). The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. The requirement is presented as one lot. No procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage.

The work is likely to suit suppliers able to provide internal wall-protection products and install them across academy or comparable school environments. Relevant strengths include durable coverings that withstand the wear and tear of daily school use, alongside a finish that meets the buyer’s aesthetic expectations. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver both the product and installation as a single service, and to support delivery across multiple education sites. E-ACT has not stated particular accreditations, technical standards, capacity thresholds or experience requirements at this planning stage. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register for the forthcoming procurement and on the buyer’s e-tendering portal, Delta.
