## Summary

Peterborough City Council intends to procure 24 high-quality demountable market stalls for Cathedral Square in Peterborough. This is a goods procurement covering modular furniture, exhibition-style stands and associated retail market use. The stalls are intended to support the city-centre public realm and market offer, while accommodating different market and event uses. The required solution is expected to balance contemporary design with sensitivity to the historic setting, operational practicality, public and trader safety, durability, whole-life value, ease of assembly, efficient storage, weather resistance and flexibility. Suppliers able to design, manufacture and supply robust demountable stalls, with an understanding of public spaces, heritage settings and temporary or event-based retail environments, are likely to find the subject matter relevant.

This procurement is at the planning stage and currently concerns preliminary market engagement rather than an invitation to tender. The Council is seeking responses to questions to help shape the future procurement process and requirements. Responses are expected through the procurement portal by 14 September 2026 at noon. The procurement is planned as a single lot, and that lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The anticipated contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. Businesses should treat the dates as the buyer’s current expectations while the requirements and eventual procedure are being developed, rather than as a tender submission deadline.

The engagement will suit suppliers with an established capability in the design and manufacture of demountable market stalls, modular retail structures, exhibition stands or comparable public-facing equipment. Relevant preparation should include evidence of durable construction, weather resistance, safe use by traders and the public, straightforward assembly and disassembly, and efficient storage between uses. Experience of supplying equipment for markets, events, town centres or other public-realm settings would be useful, particularly where designs must respond to a historic environment without compromising operational performance. Suppliers should be ready to comment on whole-life value, flexibility across market and event formats, contemporary appearance and practical maintenance. The Council’s indication that the requirement is suitable for SMEs may make it relevant to specialist manufacturers and capable smaller suppliers.
