UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council has initiated a planning phase for a "Food Partnership Proposal," aiming to carry out preliminary market engagement. This procurement process is within the services category, focusing on industry classifications such as health and social work services, along with other community, social, and personal services. The opportunity is specifically slated for the region UKD3, United Kingdom, and is set in its planning stage with documents available on The-Chest portal. Suppliers interested in this tender must register on the platform and download the necessary documents by 18th July 2025 at 12 noon. The procurement's legal basis is outlined under the 2023/54 UK legislation, and the total estimated value is £204,000, with a net amount of £170,000 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the health, social work, and community service sectors. It is crafted to engage sub-central government public authorities, providing a platform for businesses specialising in service delivery to set foot in the public sector. Companies with experience in forming effective partnerships around food supply and community services are well-suited to compete, especially given the interest in 'soft market testing'. The tender opens doors for potential growth, not only through the immediate contract but also via potential future renewals, extending up to December 2030. Engaging in this process can help businesses establish and expand their footprint within public procurement frameworks.
