This initiative, classified under public security services, aims to enhance safety for individuals in the Square Mile, including residents, workers, and visitors. The engagement phase is set to conclude on 8 November 2019, with a questionnaire needed for participation to be submitted by 12:00 Noon on that date. Interested parties must register on the City's e-procurement portal to access the required documents and further details are available through the Corporation's official website. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in security management systems and related technologies to influence a major public safety initiative. Companies specialising in public security, safety systems, and innovative security solutions should consider participating in this market engagement. While participation is voluntary and at one's own expense, it provides a chance to showcase expertise that could position a business favourably for future procurement opportunities within this project and potentially other initiatives led by the City of London Corporation. ## Notice The City of London Corporation (the 'City') and City of London Police are carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to a Security Management System as part of the Secure City Programme. The City will consider the feedback received to help inform its options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the City is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the City. Additional information: This is a soft market testing exercise in relation to an upcoming requirement for the Secure City Programme - Security Management System. The Secure City programme - Security Management System is a joint initiative between the City of London Corporation and City Police, intended to deliver significant improvements to the safety of Square Mile residents, workers and visitors. Drawing on the success of historical approaches to security and the latest examples of best practice from capital cities across the globe, the programme will future-proof security arrangements to meet the challenges of 2025 and beyond. If your organisation would like to participate in this PPME exercise, it can do so by completing and returning the SMT Questionnaire, which should be received by 12:00 Noon on 25 October 2019; this can be found on the City's e-procurement portal at: www.capitalesourcing.com. Participants should register as a supplier on the portal on the aforementioned link (if not already), then search for the opportunity titled "Secure City Programme - Security Management System" where the questionnaire can be obtained. Please ensure the questionnaire is uploaded to the capital esourcing portal. **PLEASE NOTE: THE CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF THE SMT QUESTIONNAIRE HAS NOW BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 12:00 NOON ON FRIDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2019** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3b79572-0626-4ec4-85ff-2e8f53d4fd67 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Jan 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION | | Locality | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION, GUILDHALL, PO BOX 270 | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75240000 - Public security, law and order services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2019 at 11:24 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3b79572-0626-4ec4-85ff-2e8f53d4fd67 - 17 Sep 2019 at 12:05 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3b79572-0626-4ec4-85ff-2e8f53d4fd67 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3b79572-0626-4ec4-85ff-2e8f53d4fd67 21st October 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.capitalesourcing.com Pre-Procurement Market Engagement: Secure City Programme - Security Management System ## Notice URLs - https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
