Notice Description
The Association of North East Councils Trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) seeks to establish a single-lot, sole-supplier procurement solution for the provision of Temporary Agency Staff. The purpose of the prior information notice (PIN) is to provide advance notice to the marketplace of the tendering opportunity and intentions of NEPO to hold market consultation activities with suppliers to help shape the future Framework Agreement. NEPO are not advertising this PIN as a mechanism to reduce future procurement timescales. NEPO intends to publish a soft market testing questionnaire via the NEPO eTendering portal. The questionnaire will be used to assess interest in the tendering opportunity and to gain information and insight from the market to help shape the future NEPO508 Framework Agreement design. The soft market testing questionnaire will be made accessible via the NEPO eTendering portal on Friday 26 August 2022 with a submission deadline of 12 p.m. Friday 9 September 2022. Suppliers wishing to access and complete the soft market testing questionnaire must first register on the portal using the following link https://procontract.due-north.com/register?openform In addition, NEPO intends to hold individual market consultation meetings.

Suppliers wishing to attend the virtual market consultation meetings should be capable of meeting the requirements under any of the applicable lots. NEPO reserves the right to seek assurances from interested suppliers prior to allocating a place.
