This event is targeted at SMEs within the Digital and Technology sector, particularly those with fewer than 250 employees. The engagement will conclude on 10th March, and participants are encouraged to sign up via the provided link. This initiative aims to facilitate knowledge sharing between the Home Office and the SME community, enhancing collaboration in relation to digital and technology services. This event presents an excellent opportunity for businesses operating in the digital and technology marketplace, including software development, digital mapping, data analysis, and IT services, to engage directly with government representatives. It will focus on public procurement processes, social value, and potential barriers for SMEs, allowing participating companies to voice their insights and contribute to discussions that could shape future procurement strategies. SMEs looking to expand their connections and influence in public sector contracting are particularly well-suited to benefit from this event. ## Notice We are the Industry Events Team for the Home Office Commercial Directorate. We deliver strategic Industry Events, aimed at harnessing suppliers' insights, knowledge and expertise about their industry, and enhancing collaboration with the market. These insights will be used to develop appropriate commercial strategies, and ensure optimal service delivery for the public. We would like to invite SMEs in the Digital and Technology Marketplace (less than 250 employees) to our Tech UK/Home Office - Digital and Technology SME Industry Event, taking place virtually via Microsoft Teams on: Friday 11th March at 10:00 - 12:00. Please sign up via this link: https://www.techuk.org/what-we-deliver/events/tech-uk-home-office-digital-and-technology-sme-industry-event.html This event will not focus on a specific procurement or contract activity, instead the event will be an opportunity for both The Home Office and SMEs to share knowledge around the Digital and Technology marketplace and public procurement processes. During the event, there will be interactive workshops between the SME attendees and government representatives, where participation will be encouraged. Topics of conversation may centre around understanding public procurement processes, social value, barriers to entry for SMEs, pricing models, terms and conditions, financial standing testing and liabilities. We would really appreciate your input to these conversations. We will send a pre-event survey to confirmed attendees to gather initial thoughts. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to IndustryEvents@homeoffice.gov.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c253628-97a4-4d01-8cb2-1f050e19c834 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Mar 2022 | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48517000 - IT software package - 48611000 - Database software package - 48810000 - Information systems - 71354100 - Digital mapping services - 72222200 - Information systems or technology planning services - 72222300 - Information technology services - 72260000 - Software-related services - 72316000 - Data analysis services - 72317000 - Data storage services ## Release History - 18 Jul 2022 at 14:08 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c253628-97a4-4d01-8cb2-1f050e19c834 - 3 Mar 2022 at 10:51 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1122d5c3-f7ff-4cad-b0bb-0bb5bb3ada25 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c253628-97a4-4d01-8cb2-1f050e19c834 18th July 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1122d5c3-f7ff-4cad-b0bb-0bb5bb3ada25 3rd March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.techuk.org/what-we-deliver/events/tech-uk-home-office-digital-and-technology-sme-industry-event.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
