UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham intends to procure replacement shower pod enclosure systems for Jarratt Hall in Birmingham. This is a goods requirement covering the supply of sanitary shower enclosures and associated building fittings. The market engagement asks manufacturers to describe their proposed product, including its materials and construction, dimensions and configuration options, and details of the waste and shower mixer. Suppliers may also set out installation options. The intended delivery location is Jarratt Hall, University of Birmingham, in Birmingham. The buyer is seeking information from manufacturers to help inform an upcoming procurement; this is not yet an invitation to tender.

The process is at planning and the University is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform a future procurement. Manufacturers are invited to submit proposals through In-Tend’s correspondence function; the buyer’s stated engagement submission date is 12 November 2026 at 3pm. This is an expected future purchase, with the contract period planned to run from 30 April to 2 September 2027. The procurement is described as a single lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The University says it is operating as a non-contracting authority and that any process associated with the opportunity will be conducted outside the Procurement Act 2023. The engagement invites product and budget-cost information, including any installation options.

This engagement is best suited to manufacturers of shower pod enclosure systems, including suppliers able to provide technical product evidence and explain installation choices. The buyer is looking for full specifications and technical data, construction and material details, available dimensions and configurations, expected service life, warranty provisions, and maintenance and lifecycle information. Relevant certifications, test data and compliance information will help show how products meet requirements. Manufacturers should be ready to provide examples of similar installations, manufacturing and delivery lead times, and details of after-sales support and spare-parts availability. The buyer also wants budget cost information for supply and any installation options, plus detailed information on the proposed waste and shower mixer. This early engagement gives suppliers a chance to inform the buyer’s planning before a later tender process.
