Planning Information

1. All interested suppliers are asked to fill out the linked questionnaire to express their interest in the procurement and formerly log their interest - https://wkf.ms/47sbkxF 2. Further to above, PHL invites interested suppliers to take part in pre-market engagement consisting of a 30-minute 1-2-1 teams call, likely to be Tuesday 7th April and Friday 10th April. As part of this pre-market engagement we would like to understand what the market can offer in relation to the following two options: a. Option 1: 1 x Contract with a "Consultancy/Facilities Management" company that then manages the required service/works against our specification. The contract and the relationship would be directly between PHL and the Facilities Management company. b. Option 2: We contract directly with auditing contractors. The contracts and the relationships would be directly between Platform and the auditors. 3. These pre-market engagement meetings will inform which option we proceed with. 4. We plan on issuing an Invitation to Tender, likely with a Lotting Strategy applied. We do not yet know what these Lots will look like, and will use these pre-market engagement events to inform how the Lots are structured and how many awards we therefore require.
