The process is currently in the planning stage, with the council engaging in pre-market consultations to assess interest from potential suppliers. This initiative falls under the services sector, specifically involving caretaker and office-support personnel placement services. Key dates include the publication of a preliminary market engagement notice on 14 April 2026, with the contract period set to begin on 1 June 2026 and potentially extend until 31 May 2029. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the engagement exercise by submitting a questionnaire before the specified deadline. This procurement opportunity presents a promising avenue for suppliers in the services industry, particularly those specialising in personnel placement and janitorial services. Companies with expertise in supplying temporary staff and offering caretaker services would be well-suited to compete in this tender. Though currently not part of a formal tendering process, participating in the pre-market engagement can provide businesses with valuable insights into the council's requirements and strengthen their understanding of the potential project scope. As this initiative is part of Northern Irish devolved regulations, it opens up specific regional opportunities for growth, with a dynamic purchasing system in place to potentially facilitate ongoing service provision. ## Notice ***Pre Market Engagement Only.*** Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a tender for Provision of Caretaker and Reception Services at Bradford Court . LCCC wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents section. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 12 Noon on the closing date detailed. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider from participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/ provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process.
