This initiative falls under the industry category of erection of fencing, with additional classifications in safety fencing and fencing wire, and it is situated within London (postal code W5 2HL), United Kingdom. The procurement is initiated as a tender process aimed at addressing the substantial and diverse fencing stock across various locations such as parks, cemeteries, and allotments within the borough of Ealing. Key engagement milestones include an engagement end date scheduled for 2nd June 2025. The anticipated budget available for this procurement is £150,000 annually, with an emphasis on understanding market interest for potentially splitting the contract into smaller lots to better accommodate Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This procurement exercise presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in fencing works, to engage with Ealing Council. Businesses with expertise in the supply, installation, maintenance, and repair of fencing are encouraged to participate, especially SMEs looking to leverage opportunities within a large borough like Ealing. Ealing Council is exploring ways to structure the contract to facilitate participation from a range of suppliers, including those interested in specific types of fencing or geographical areas, thus promoting fair competition. This pre-market engagement is a precursor to a formal procurement procedure expected to be advertised later in 2025, providing time for interested parties to understand the full scope and potential structure of the upcoming tender. ## Notice Ealing has a substantial and diverse asset portfolio of fencing stock. Later this year we will be seeking suitably skilled and experienced organisations to tender for the supply, installation and repair of fencing across the borough. The service has a variety of fencing infrastructure across the borough, including but not limited to playground fencing, parks boundary/feature fencing, bollards, gates, cemetery fencing and allotment fencing. The anticipated budget per annum is PS150k. Ealing Council is interested is gauging interest from companies to determine the how best to structure the contract(s). This Pre Market engagement brief and accompanying questionnaire, pertains to the future contract. We would like to explore whether there is interest in the market to split the contract into smaller lots and how these lots could be developed so as to allow SMEs to bid with their specialities in mind or smaller geographical area. Splitting into smaller lots would still allow bidders to tender for one or more Lots and one bidder could win all lots if they scored highest on all lots. The purpose of this pre-market engagement exercise and questionnaire is to: issue Pre Market Engagement Notice (UK02) to the market of a future intention to advertise an opportunity which may be of interest to contractors set out current thinking on how the work or services may be grouped and contracted provide an opportunity for contractors to feedback and offer views on the Ealing's intentions and how it might be shaped understand market appetite and view on the structure of the service to be provided. This exercise is a precursor to a formal procurement procedure expected to be advertised by Ealing later in 2025. A subsequent competitive tendering procedure which will be follow will comply with Procurement Act 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4838219a-7eb6-4aad-967c-c2011a0691fc | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EALING COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W5 2HL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI73 Ealing | | Local authority | Ealing | | Electoral ward | Ealing Broadway | | Westminster constituency | Ealing Central and Acton | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 34928310 - Safety fencing - 44312000 - Fencing wire - 45342000 - Erection of fencing ## Release History - 1 May 2025 at 07:36 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4838219a-7eb6-4aad-967c-c2011a0691fc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4838219a-7eb6-4aad-967c-c2011a0691fc 1st May 2025 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
