What the notice says

Queen’s is seeking to engage with suppliers to support a scoping exercise for potential replacement of the car parking management solution at Queen’s Accommodation Elms BT9 site at 78 Malone Road, Belfast. The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise is to gain a better understanding of the car park solutions available in the market, explore options for a specific solution at the Elms BT9 site, understand costs, and support a potential future procurement exercise. The PME process will provide interested suppliers with the opportunity to obtain further information on Queen’s requirements and also provide Queen’s with the opportunity to obtain feedback from the marketplace. Queen’s is not looking for supplier proposals at this stage, but would like suppliers who wish to participate in the PME process to express their interest by registering at our e-tendering portal which you can find at the link below. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/queensuniversitybelfast/aspx/Home You can access the PME documents by searching “Tenders” – then “Current Tenders".
