## Summary

Salford City Council is currently in the planning stage of a market engagement process for the Minor Civils Framework in Salford. This procurement seeks to evaluate options for various construction services, including minor civils works valued from £0 to £500k, drainage, and landscape services. Interested parties have until 12:00 pm on 8th April 2021 to submit a questionnaire for their input. This engagement is not a formal tender process but is aimed at gathering information to define future specifications and contract models. Salford City Council currently allocates approximately £50 million over four years for these services, focusing on the North West region of England.

This market engagement presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in civil engineering and related services. Businesses that can provide solutions in landscape works, drainage, surface treatments, and other civil engineering disciplines will find this a suitable opportunity to compete. Engaging with the council now can position firms advantageously for upcoming tenders and contracts, as insights from this engagement could influence future procurement strategies and specifications.

## Notice

Salford City Council ('The Council') is considering options around the delivery of the following services; * Minor Civils PS0 - PS75k (direct award) and PS75k - PS500k (mini competition) * Specialist Surface Treatments * Vehicle Restraint Systems * Drainage * Structures and Bridges * Coring and Site Investigations * Landscape and Associated Works This is not a formal facet of a procurement process, it is purely investigatory in nature, although the outcome may be used to assist the Council in defining a specification and contract model for delivery of the highway services. Salford City Council currently spends around PS50m for these services over four years. To support our considerations, it is the intention to hold some market engagement to review the current and future supply market strategies. The same information will be gathered from all organisations who wish to participate in this market engagement to assist the Council in this exercise. Interested parties should complete the attached questionnaire and return via the Chest no later than 12.00pm on Thursday 8th April 2021 - THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF BUSINESS Additional information: This is a market engagement exercise only and is not a guarantee of work.
