Notice Title
Soft Market Testing - Tower Bridge Visitor Attraction
Notice Description
The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out pre-procurement market engagement ('PPME') in relation to the provision of a design team to develop a masterplan for redeveloping the visitor attraction within the current footprint, the surrounding properties owned by City Bridge Foundation and areas in the public realm. 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. Please refer to II.2.4) Description of the procurement below for details on how to obtain the relevant documentation.
