## Summary

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is in the planning stage of procuring a Facilities Management Repair and Maintenance Framework. This preliminary market engagement aims to gather feedback and ideas for potential solutions and innovations within the industry. The procurement process will focus on services such as facilities management, building services, and various repair and maintenance works including electrical, heating, and asbestos removal. The contract is expected to serve the Grimsby region in the United Kingdom and has an estimated value of £2,003,000. Businesses interested in participating should be prepared for market engagement scheduled to conclude on 18th November 2025, with a formal notice date anticipated on 30th January 2026.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in facilities management and related services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to partake, as their flexibility and innovative approaches can significantly contribute to the council’s strategic goals. The planned framework agreement will provide a comprehensive structure allowing participating businesses to engage in various service categories with potential contract durations extending up to 2030. This initiative not only facilitates engagement between the council and service providers but also promotes business growth by offering a clear pipeline of work within the public sector.

## Notice

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to share with the market North East Lincolnshire Council's (the Authority) ideas for a Facilities Management Repair and Maintenance Framework and to gather feedback on these ideas and to seek ideas about opportunities and innovation in the market. Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) allows local authorities and other contracting authorities in the public sector to engage with a market. PME is designed to encourage the commercial and voluntary sectors to engage with the development process before a procurement is released. This is the market's opportunity to express its views, outline market developments and generally influence how solutions to the Authority's needs might be met. There is nothing for the Authority to evaluate or select in this activity. PME is not a call for competition. Following PME, the Authority may conclude that procurement is not the best solution to meet a particular strategy outcome. The Authority may conclude that it would be better to do something entirely different to the intent within this PME. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PME understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed. It is therefore essential that organisations understand that this activity is not part of a procurement exercise and involvement in the PME does not affect an organisation's positioning either positively or negatively should a procurement opportunity arise subsequently. The Authority may release a PME to: * Share information to inform the market of an impending procurement, such that they might make preparations for the tender when it is released; and * Gather information to develop the Authority's strategy. We therefore recommend that if there is no intent to engage in the PME, it is better to sustain interest in activity on YORtender to ensure that any interested party remains informed.
