Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation is conducting a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for a City Advice Service, aimed at assessing potential service options in light of Covid implications. This preliminary engagement phase is scheduled to conclude on 30 October 2020. Located in London, the focus is on health and social work services, with interested parties required to submit their responses via the Capital eSourcing portal by midday on the deadline date. This current planning stage reflects an intent to gather insights but does not commit the authority to a formal procurement process at this time.

This market engagement offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the health and social work sectors. Organisations participating in this process, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), can provide valuable input that may shape the future procurement process. Companies interested in this tender should ensure they are registered on the Capital eSourcing portal to engage effectively in the opportunity and potentially position themselves for future contracts with the City of London Corporation.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Pre-Procurement Market Engagement - City Advice Service Oct 2020

Notice Description

The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out Pre-procurement market engagement ('PPME') in relation to a City Advice Service. A pre-procurement market engagement exercise was carried out in March 2020, but this is being carried out again in light of Covid implications for the Service. The City will consider the feedback received to help inform its options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the City is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the City. Additional information: This is a soft market testing exercise in relation to an upcoming requirement the City of London Corporation (the City) has for a new City Advice Service. The soft market testing will involve the submission of the SMT questionnaire - to be received by 12.00pm Noon on 30.10.2020 via the capital esourcingportal. If your organisation would like to participate in this market engagement exercise, it can do so by completing and returning the market testing questionnaire which can be found on the City's e-procurement portal at www.capitalesourcing.com Participants should register as a supplier on the portal on the aforementioned link (if not already), then search for the opportunity titled 'City Advice Service' where the questionnaire can be obtained. Please ensure the questionnaire is uploaded to the capital esourcing portal www.capitalesourcing.com by 12.00pm Noon on 30.10.2020.
