Housing Kitchen Replacement Programme

North Lanarkshire Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to a proposed Supply and Install Kitchen Replacement Programme across its Council housing stock.

The Council is planning a significant programme of investment for the supply, delivery and installation of replacement domestic kitchens within occupied Council properties. The current indicative investment profile is forecast to be approximately 65 million GBP over the period 2027/28 to 2030/31.

Through this Prior Information Notice (PIN) and accompanying Request for Information (RFI), the Council wishes to engage with contractors, to gain a better understanding of current market capacity, supply chain capability, contract structures, mobilisation requirements, and innovation opportunities associated with the delivery of large-scale housing kitchen replacement programmes.

The Council is aware of a number of national framework arrangements currently operating within the marketplace and of the various procurement routes available under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. At this stage, no decision has been made regarding the preferred procurement strategy or route to market. The Council may consider a range of options including existing frameworks or a future open market procurement.

The purpose of this exercise is to gather information that will help inform the Council's future procurement strategy and delivery approach. The Council is particularly interested in obtaining feedback on market capacity.

This PIN is issued solely as a market engagement and information gathering exercise.

It does not constitute a call for competition, a commitment to procure, or a commitment to award any contract.
