What the notice says

This Pre Market Engagement Notice (PME) seeks engagement with applicable economic operators to gather information associated with the Inspection, Testing Servicing and Maintenance of Fire Detection and Alarm Systems in Hull City Council Properties in order to gain a better understanding of the market/options available to service Hull City Council's requirements in this area. This is the market’s opportunity to express its views, outline market developments and generally influence how solutions to the councils’ needs might be met. It is therefore essential that organisations understand that this activity does not affect an organisation’s positioning either positively or negatively should a procurement opportunity arise subsequently.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
