Notice Information

Notice Title

Bus shelter design Fleming Way, Swindon

Notice Description

Swindon Borough Council is seeking input from the market for the design, manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance of new bespoke bus shelters which will form a key part of a high profile regeneration scheme in the heart of Swindon town centre. This market assessment is not part of the procurement process, but is purely investigative in nature, to potentially assist the Council in defining a specification and contract for the project. The same information will be gathered from all providers who wish to participate in the Soft Market testing to assist the Council. Participants are invited to respond to the attached 'Bus shelters - soft market testing questions and response document' in writing, along with providing details of their organisation. No workshops are being held as part of this soft market testing exercise. Soft Market Testing Responses are required to be submitted no later than 11th August 2021, 14:00:00 hrs UK local time via messaging on the ProContract tender portal, www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk including the project name and DN reference in the subject title. For the avoidance of doubt, no information provided in response to this questionnaire will be used by the Council in assessing providers during any future procurement process, scheduled to commence later in 2021. If you require any clarifications on the soft market testing documents please submit these in writing via messaging on the ProContract tender portal, including the project name and DN reference in the subject title by 4th August 2021, 14:00:00 hrs UK local time. Please note that this project has been advertised on Contracts Finder, however, 'Supplying the South West Portal' is the only portal that includes all the relevant documents required to respond to this soft market testing exercise.
