Notice Title

Soft Market Testing - Custody Healthcare Service

Notice Description

The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to a Custody Healthcare 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 Custody Healthcare Service for the City. The soft market testing will comprise the Submission of the SMT Questionnaire - to be received by 10:00am on 07 September 2020 via the capital esourcing portal. 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 "Custody Healthcare Service" where the questionnaire can be obtained. Please ensure the questionnaire is uploaded to the capital esourcing portal
