Call for businesses to 'act now' in a bid to work with North East Lincolnshire Council

LOCAL businesses – if you’re looking to win work with North East Lincolnshire Council then now’s the time to act!

The authority has just launched a new ‘framework’ for facilities management which will be used to procure a range of Council works and services now and in the future.

The framework covers a variety of trades and specialist services, including asbestos-related works, building works, electrical and mechanical services, and joinery.

Businesses with the relevant experience can apply to join the framework now. They will then be assessed for their legal and financial capacity and technical ability, and those successfully appointed will then be able to bid for relevant opportunities as the Council advertises them through the framework.

The Council regularly publishes its Procurement Pipeline, providing businesses with visibility of forthcoming procurement opportunities. Where work is put through this framework, only suppliers appointed to it will be able to compete for those opportunities.

The framework just released is divided into the following lots:

• Lot 1a – Asbestos Surveying and Analytical Work
• Lot 1b – Asbestos Emergency Reactive Work 
• Lot 1c – Asbestos Removal Work 
• Lot 1d – Asbestos Laboratory Services 
• Lot 2a – Electrical Planned and Reactive 
• Lot 2b – Electrical Statutory Planned Preventative Maintenance 
• Lot 3a – General Building Works
• Lot 3b – General Building Works – Flooring
• Lot 4 – Joinery and Carpentry
• Lot 5a – Mechanical Planned and Reactive 
• Lot 5b – Mechanical Statutory Planned Preventative Maintenance 

Businesses are encouraged to ensure they are registered on both YORtender and the (Find a Tender) Central Digital Platform to apply for opportunities. Act now this opportunity closes on 11^th January 2027.

North East Lincolnshire Council also wants to help local businesses build the knowledge and confidence they need to compete for public sector contracts. That is why the Council has invested in Go4Growth, a social enterprise that supports businesses to better understand public sector procurement and how to bid for contract opportunities.

The main website area is free to access for anyone but, thanks to the council investment, businesses and organisations can read ‘Your Journey’ to find out more before going to the ‘membership resources’ section. If businesses register, complete their details and click the postcode ‘DN North East Lincolnshire’ tab, they will access a variety of webinars, training, 1:1 support and guidance.
