Set in Worcester, UKG12, this initiative focuses on facilities and grounds maintenance services within the public sector. A pre-market engagement exercise is scheduled until 31st July 2026, allowing interested parties to engage prior to the formal procurement stage, which aligns with the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement strategy emphasises industry-compatible practices aimed at value for money and transparency, with formal notices expected by 7th August 2026. This tender represents substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in services related to cleaning, sanitation, grounds maintenance, and refuse management. By participating in the pre-market engagement, businesses can input into the development of the procurement process, positioning themselves favorably for when the tender is officially launched. Companies with experience in urban environmental maintenance, effective waste management solutions, or innovative grounds management practices will find this RFI particularly pertinent. Engaging early offers enterprises a distinct advantage in refining their proposals to align with identified market needs and client expectations, subsequently aiding in expanding their operational footprint in the public sector. ## Notice **THIS IS AN RFI ONLY** The West Mercia Police Contracts and Procurement Team, acting on behalf of the Kidderminster Town Council (the Authority), intends to undertake pre-market engagement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 in relation to an upcoming Parks, Green Spaces and Market Street Public Toilets Maintenance and Cleaning Contract Ref: KTC26 2735 tender.

The RFI seeks to help the Authority better understand market capability and capacity, gauge supplier interest, and identify any risks, innovations, or considerations that suppliers consider relevant to the scope, specification, and delivery model prior to the commencement of a formal procurement process. Participation in this RFI is voluntary and does not form part of any subsequent procurement process, nor does it commit the Authority to undertake a procurement or any participant to bid.
