SCOPE
The Authority is exploring the opportunity to re-procure this service for a 2-year period, with extension options. We are exploring different sourcing options and would very much appreciate the views and feedback from possible providers of the services. The options are:
1. Both services are delivered by a single provider in 2 different locations (Barnet and Inner London) or at a single location that can be in either of the 2 locations (Barnet and Inner London). We would also consider locations in other areas of London especially if all services can be provided from a single site.
2. A Single provider for Barnet and a single provider for Inner London
The Authority is therefore undertaking a market engagement exercise via a Request for Information questionnaire (RFI).
This is a process designed to help the Authority form a view of the best way to commission the service; it is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further tender advertisement will be issued at the appropriate time where required.
The Authority reserves the right to amend or change all and any aspects discussed in this exercise if a decision to move to formal procurement is made. This early engagement exercise does not guarantee the tendering of any services taking place.
Your feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any future tender submissions you may wish to offer. You will not be disadvantaged if you choose not to respond to the RFI. It will be incredibly helpful to understand your views and insights at this early stage, so you are encouraged to respond as fully as you can as any feedback could inform the specification and any future tendering opportunity.
Please complete your response and return via our tendering portal, Atamis by midday on Friday, 7th November 2025.
Thank you for your time and participation. Additional information: To access the documents and participate, please register and apply via Atamis e-sourcing portal:
