What the notice says

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to gauge interest from the market and to investigate solution options for a potential procurement described under Section 2: Background. This will enable the Council to examine the key issues that relate to the opportunities available and refine our approach which will inform the decision-making process that needs to be undertaken prior to any possible future procurement. This is not an invitation to bid, this is solely a request for information (RFI) and no direct business will be awarded because of completing this RFI. Responding to this document does not advantage or disadvantage any supplier in any possible future procurement process.

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.
