To express interest, please email cps@belfastcity.gov.uk, informing the Council of your intention to participate in this exercise. Once expressions of interest have been received, the Council will contact the interested parties to discuss next steps. This will be whatever suits best, but may include completion of a simple questionnaire, a brief meeting/phone call, or a site visit. All information returned as part of this PME exercise will assist in the development of the specification, evaluation criteria, pricing structure, and contract award options to ensure this tender opportunity delivers a high-quality service to the Council, whilst being achievable and appealing to the marketplace. It is also the Councils objective to keep this tendering process as simple as possible for all interested parties. The Council reserves the right to contact any or all organisations who responds to this PME engagement to further discuss the next steps. The Council cannot guarantee that all organisations will be contacted who submit interest. The intention would then be to advertise the tender opportunity to the market. The Council uses eSourcing NI as its etendering platform. If you are not yet registered with eSourcing NI we would suggest you do so without delay. As mentioned previously, this process will be kept as simple as possible. Interested parties are asked to express their interest on or before 5pm Monday 1st September 2025 (by emailing cps@belfastcity.gov.uk). If you have any initial questions about this requirement, please also send them to cps@belfastcity.gov.uk and we will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible. Please note the Council reserves the right to discontinue any discussions or tender procedures at any time and are not liable for any costs incurred by suppliers associated with participating in this PME exercise.",
