What the notice says
The University of Portsmouth is currently assessing options for the potential procurement of an Agent Management Platform to support the management of agent relationships, contracts, commissions, performance and compliance activities. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is an exploratory exercise and does not form part of a formal procurement procedure. Participation in this PME does not create any obligation on the part of the University to initiate or proceed with a procurement process. Furthermore, a decision not to participate in this exercise will not preclude any supplier from being considered in future tendering opportunities.
The primary objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the market landscape, possible solutions and their functionality, industry best practices, indicative pricing models, and social value opportunities.
How to bid
- Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
- 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.
- Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
