What the notice says

The London Borough of Merton ("the Authority") is conducting a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) exercise to inform the planned procurement of Educational Software to support the management of education data across the borough's schools and education services. As the Authority continues to develop and improve services for residents and children in Merton, it is seeking to ensure it has the right underpinning technology in place, particularly given the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence within the technology landscape. This exercise is intended as an initial assessment of the market and current capabilities before entering a formal procurement process. Suppliers are invited to participate by completing the attached questionnaire. Participation in this exercise does not constitute any commitment by the Authority to proceed to procurement, nor does it guarantee any opportunity to tender.

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.
