What the notice says

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to gauge interest from the market and to investigate potential options for a contract for Removal, Storage and Disposal of Abandoned Vehicles. The responses will shape the key issues that relate to the attractiveness of the tender and refine the approach to the design of the commercial model which will underpin the contract itself. It will also inform the decision-making process that needs to be undertaken prior to any potential future procurement. This is not an invitation to bid, this is solely a request for information (RFI), and no direct business will be awarded as a result of completing this RFI. Responding to this document does not advantage or disadvantage any supplier in any future procurement process. No supplier selection or supplier preference is implied.
