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 Security Services for the City. The soft market testing will comprise the Submission of the SMT Questionnaire - to be received by 5pm on 2nd May 2023 via the capital esourcing portal.
