What the notice says

Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise regarding a replacement e-tendering system. This exercise is intended to provide capable suppliers with early visibility of the Council’s requirements and to gather information on the types of solutions available, their capabilities, limitations, innovation, implementation approach, timescales, integration options and commercial models. This will assist and inform the Council’s understanding of market capability and any future scope, requirements, specification and procurement approach. A Market Engagement Questionnaire will be provided to suppliers who express an interest and are willing to provide responses to help guide this exercise and inform the Council’s consideration of potential replacement e-tendering system options. The solution is expected to provide an end-to-end e-tendering system to support procurement activity, supplier engagement, tender publication, evaluation, award, transparency requirements, contract register functionality and contract management activity.

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.
