The engagement aims to understand market capabilities and inform technical requirements. Interested parties must respond to the pre-market engagement questionnaire by 31 August 2018 at 17:00. The relevant industry category for this tender is "World wide web (www) site operation host services," and the location for this opportunity encompasses the United Kingdom and other regions, including the British Overseas Territories and Europe. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in website hosting and maintenance to engage with ACE. Companies that provide web operation services, particularly those experienced in the arts or cultural sectors, would be well-suited to compete. While participation in this engagement is not a prerequisite for future procurement applications, it offers a chance to showcase capabilities and influence potential service requirements, laying the groundwork for future collaborations with the Arts Council England. ## Notice The Arts Council England (ACE) is carrying out Pre-Market Engagement (PME) in relation to the future procurement of website related services for the ArtsJobs and ArtsNews website (http://www.artsjobs.org.uk/). ACE will consider the feedback received to help inform options and further decision making so that we can understand the market capabilities to inform our technical requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process. Participation or non-participation in the PME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by ACE.
