The requirement is expected to cover planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs, minor capital works and associated technical building maintenance and facilities management services. It is intended to support the safe, efficient and effective operation of a major civic and heritage asset, including maintenance reflecting its operational, heritage and conservation requirements. The work will be delivered at Manchester Town Hall in Manchester. The procurement is for services and is expected to be structured as a single service arrangement. The immediate purpose is to support initial occupancy while the Council reviews and develops its longer-term asset management, maintenance and building support requirements. This procurement is at the planning stage. Manchester City Council has set out an intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender or a call for competition. The scope, procurement strategy, contract structure, estimated value and timetable remain under development. The Council currently expects the next notice to be published on 1 September 2027. The anticipated contract period is from 1 April 2029 to 31 March 2033, with renewal options extending the maximum period to 31 March 2037. The planned contract length is eight years, structured as an initial four-year period followed by two possible two-year extensions. The requirement is below the relevant threshold. The buyer may change these expectations before formal procurement. The future requirement should suit building maintenance, facilities management and specialist technical services providers able to support a large, continuously operating civic building. Relevant capability includes planned preventative maintenance, responsive repairs, minor capital works and maintenance of building installations, with the capacity to coordinate associated technical services. Suppliers with experience of working in historic, listed or heritage-sensitive environments may be well placed, because the Town Hall’s conservation and operational requirements are expected to shape the service. Firms should prepare for work that combines day-to-day building support with careful treatment of significant historic fabric and a public-facing civic setting. This is an opportunity to monitor and prepare for a substantial, long-term service arrangement, although the Council has not yet invited bids. ## Notice Future Repairs and Maintenance Services for Manchester Town Hall Manchester City Council is undertaking preparatory work for the future procurement of repairs and maintenance services to support the ongoing operation of the refurbished Manchester Town Hall.
