Notice Title
HCC Nov 2021 - The Supply of Fresh Produce
Notice Description
Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to The Supply of Fresh Produce. HCL will consider the feedback received to help inform their options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and HCL 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 HCL.
