Pre-Market Engagement (PME) Notice - Term Maintenance Contracts - Mechanical
West Northamptonshire Council is launching a Pre-Market Engagement exercise to shape the future procurement of Term Maintenance Contracts, scheduled for formal launch in September 2025. This initiative is designed to engage the market early, gather supplier feedback, and inform contract strategy across a wide range of building and estate maintenance services.
Following local government reorganisation in 2022, the Council seeks to move beyond interim arrangements by establishing long-term contracts that promote strategic partnerships, reduce frequent procurement cycles, and comply with current legislation including the Procurement Act and the Building Safety Act.
Key Objectives:
*Foster collaborative supplier relationships
*Encourage involvement from national and local providers
*Promote transparency, compliance, and community benefit
*Strengthen local supply chains and workforce development
*Use familiar standard contract forms
*Enable training and CPD opportunities
Procurement Strategy:
*Frameworks and single supplier arrangements
*Clearly defined service-area lots (e.g. roofing, fire systems, catering equipment)
*Mix of mini-competitions and direct awards (where appropriate)
*Flexible framework duration (up to 8 years), with reopening options
Procurement Areas (Mechanical)
*General mechanical: Sanitary appliances ,Disposal installations, Water installations, Heat sources
Ventilation systems ,central ventilation, local and specialist ventilation and smoke extract/control
Boilers and heating systems Pumps: Framework 4 suppliers to be awarded initial framework length 4 years. 8 years total contract terms. with minimum two re-openings
*Fuel installations - storage and distribution systems: Framework 4 suppliers to be awarded initial framework length 4 years. 8 years total contract terms. with minimum two re-openings
*Sustainable heating and cooling systems :Framework 4 suppliers to be awarded initial framework length 4 years. 8 years total contract terms. with minimum two re-openings
Timeline:
