## Summary

St Albans City and District Council, in conjunction with PUBLIC SECTOR PARTNERSHIP SERVICES LTD, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process entitled "Pre-Market Engagement - Aids and Adaptations." This initiative, located in the St Albans area (region UKH23), within the United Kingdom, concerns the industry category of building alteration work, particularly focusing on technical aids and adaptations. A preliminary market engagement notice was published on 22nd January 2026, with an engagement deadline set for 5th February 2026. The tender process is intended to better prepare the council by understanding market capabilities prior to formally commencing the procurement, which is categorised under works below threshold level.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs specialising in building alterations to engage in dialogue with the buying authority, potentially paving the way for future contractual opportunities. Companies with expertise in building adaptation works are encouraged to register on the PSPS electronic tendering portal to participate in the engagement process. With the contract period tentatively commencing from 1st April 2026 and possibly extending until 2032, firms that offer innovative solutions in adaptation and aid services might benefit from valuable long-term contracts facilitating business growth.
