## Summary

Rutland County Council, located in Oakham, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "RCC-1644 Mechanical and Electrical Systems Maintenance Contract" aimed at works related to hot water, heating, electrical installation, plumbing, and central heating maintenance. The council is conducting a soft market testing exercise to shape the future procurement, inviting interested providers to submit their responses by noon on 4th June 2026. This exercise is part of the council's broader strategy to gather insights from potential suppliers before formalising its maintenance strategy. The contract covers the UKF22 region and involves Welland Procurement as the procuring entity. It is scheduled for a contract period commencing on 1st February 2027 and possibly extending until 31st January 2032.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for growth to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in mechanical and electrical services. Businesses within the CPV categories of hot water, heating works, electrical installation, plumbing, and maintenance services will find this tender particularly appealing. Participating in the soft market testing allows businesses to influence the council's approach and potentially secure future contracts. The engagement does not obligate the council to proceed with the procurement, making it an exploratory step with potential lucrative opportunities for firms capable of meeting the council's service needs.
