See Contact details for any enquiries related to this opportunity. The Council has held a supplier webinar on 16th July 2025 at which suppliers who had expressed an interest were invited. Two follow up sessions at which suppliers could ask questions were arranged on 17th and 18th of July. Further sessions are planned in August 2025. As previously indicated this will be a multi stage opportunity and suppliers initial submissions will be assessed against participating criteria issued with the ITT documentation. Suppliers that were successful as part of this qualifying stage will be asked to participate in presentations and demonstrations which will also be evaluated. A small cohort of suppliers who have successfully been evaluated at earlier stages will then be asked to trial the solution they have proposed in an operational environment. The Council may chose to limit the number of suppliers who are invited to trial. This will be dependant on the interest shown by suppliers to this initiative. A final selection of the suppliers solutions will then be undertaken and contracts awarded to a supplier or suppliers that have met the success criteria for the operational trials. Full details of each stage along with the evaluation criteria will be published to bidders that have been successful in each of the earlier stages.",
