What the notice says

To inform CNPAs long-term business planning process, the organisation wishes to assess the current market capability and capacity to provide its Police trainees, Police officers and Police staff with Hotel Accommodation in close proximity to its offices / training sites. To achieve this, we are undertaking an Informal Soft Market Testing Exercise; this is not a tender. We would appreciate it if you could find the time to review and complete the Informal Soft Market Testing Exercise Document and return it to us 12:00 noon on 30th January 2026. Please could you base your responses on the provision of your standard service. The information and insight we obtain from this will then support the development of a tendering exercise. Neither the intentions nor the purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to confer any advantage upon its participants in any future procurement process. We now enclose a copy of the Informal Soft Market Testing Exercise Document. Dependent on the outcome of this Informal Soft Market Testing, CNPA may decide not pursue an open tender but proceed via suitable Framework
