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.
