Future Engagement Events There are further engagement events to be held on the 28th July 2026 - information about the procurement process.(online) - please note questions must be submitted in advance.

If you are interested in receiving information about these engagement opportunities or submitting questions for the online event, please email your contact details (and question/s) stating what and which event/s you are interested in to: homelessness.strategy@nottinghamcity.gov.uk by 4pm on the 24th July 2026. Please note there is limited capacity at the 'in-person' events, so no places are guaranteed. The Authority will release follow-up information relating to these events. 5. Procurement Process Please see document 'Brief Explanation of the Proposed Procurement Process'. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Please note that the PME does not oblige the Authority to proceed with any procurement process. Whilst all information shared and provided will be considered, this does not guarantee it will form part of the final procurement approach or document. You may only provide the information you wish to provide. Any procurement conducted because of this PME will be advertised separately and all suppliers wanting to participate will need to respond to the advertisement (Tender Notice) as and when it is published, which will be no earlier than September 2026. Your response will have no influence on any assessment of any Tender you submit in relation to any future procurement process. Participation in the PME process will be at each supplier's own cost. No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the Authority. 6. Exclusion Grounds - Unfair advantage or distortion of competition The Procurement Act 2023 requires the Authority to take steps to ensure that suppliers/suppliers or persons participating in the PME are not put at an unfair advantage and that competition in relation to the award of the contract is not otherwise distorted. If the Authority considers that a supplier's participation in the PME has put a supplier at an unfair advantage in relation to the future award of the contract and that advantage cannot be avoided, it is possible that the supplier may be excluded from the procurement process. The Authority does not envisage that this will be an issue in this process, and you should not be deterred from participating in this PME process. 7. Transparency The Authority will keep a record of the information it has shared and received as part of the PME. The Procurement Act 2023 requires that the Authority shares information, and therefore the PME information will be summarised and shared as part of the tendering process to help ensure that participating suppliers/suppliers are not unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged. The information shared in the tendering process will focus on any factors that were material in deciding the Authority's procurement approach. It will not highlight any suppliers individual response to the PME. 8. Confidentiality/Commercial Secrecy The Authority reserves the right to disclose any information discussed as part of the PME unless otherwise agreed in writing, and subject to its obligations under the Procurement Act 2023, Freedom of Information Act 2000, and any other legislation governing the Authority. Please consider in advance how we can manage any discussions involving confidential information including intellectual property. Any information you consider to be confidential information should be highlighted as such when it is made available to the Authority. You will not make any public statement or press release in connection with the PME without prior written approval of the Authority.",
