UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) in the United Kingdom is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for 'Hotel Accommodation' services, aimed at accommodating its police trainees, officers, and staff near their offices and training sites. This initiative is part of their long-term business planning and involves an Informal Soft Market Testing Exercise, not a formal tender. Interested parties are invited to complete the exercise document by 12:00 noon on 30th January 2026. This preliminary market engagement might inform a potential tendering exercise, although CNPA reserves the right to use a suitable framework depending on the results. The procurement encompasses services within the hotel accommodation industry across the UK, classified under code 55110000.

This procurement process offers significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are deemed suitable for participation. Businesses specialising in hospitality and accommodation services located in proximity to CNPA’s sites would find this opportunity advantageous for growth. Although this exercise does not guarantee any future procurement advantage, it provides a chance for businesses to showcase their capacity and service standards, potentially influencing CNPA’s approach to the subsequent tender process. Businesses should prepare to align their offerings with standard service provisions to meet the requirements outlined by CNPA.
