The procurement process is at the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 1st December 2022. The university is seeking suitable systems and capabilities for employee engagement surveys, moving from biannual to pulse surveys. The procurement method is a pre-procurement market engagement exercise, allowing organisations to provide input on the vision without formal proposal assessment. The location of the procurement is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, within the software package and information systems industry. This tender by Nottingham Trent University presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems to participate and contribute ideas for the employee survey platform. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly encouraged to engage with the university in this pre-procurement market engagement exercise. The timeline for responses is limited, with a due date of 24th November 2022 for submission of NDA and responses, followed by potential workshop sessions for selected respondents in January 2023 to present their ideas and engage with the university further. ## Notice NTU wish to undertake a pre-procurement market engagement exercise before any possible procurement is started, to determine suitable Employee Survey Platform and Support, systems and capabilities. In 2018, we conducted the last of our biannual employee engagement surveys in collaboration with Capita. Since that time, Capita have withdrawn this service in the market place and we have moved our approach in-house. Since 2020 and in conjunction with the pandemic, we have increasingly moved to shorter (max 10 questions), more regular 'pulse' surveys to capture and respond to employee voice around topics such as advocacy, wellbeing and reward. We currently use a system called Snap Surveys to deploy the survey, with the aims and objectives devised by colleagues in HR and the questions designed by inhouse expertise from our Markets and Insights team, who also compile the analysis. This inhouse support is only able to support, owing to other priorities, once a term, which does not satisfy our desire within Human Resources to use real time data to inform our practice on a more iterative and agile way to deliver on our own strategic people priorities. Therefore we will be seeking a solution that does not limit our ability or the support to issue colleague mechanisms to gather employee voice. At this stage we will not be formally assessing proposals, so nothing provided at this stage will be evaluated as part of any future procurement process. We welcome responses from organisations who feel that they have ideas on how our vision can be delivered, and comment on the extent to which our requirements are reasonable, realistic, and properly specified. If you feel your organisation can contribute to this exercise, please register/login to express interest via the EU Supply portal for further details. Please complete and sign the NDA to access the SMT document, provide responses to the enclosed questions and submit via the EU Supply Portal no later than 17:00 on Thursday 24th November 2022. Following receipt of the responses, and depending on the information we obtain from this exercise, we may invite a selection of respondents to attend separate workshop sessions to present and discuss their responses between Tuesday 17th January and Tuesday 31st January 2023. Organisations not attending a session will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement, as this pre-procurement market engagement is only an exploratory fact-finding exercise: it is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. Any supplier invited to present or provide information to NTU is doing so to support pre-procurement market research only, to help make any future procurement more focused and efficient, and to clarify NTU's requirements. The expected formal procurement process will start only after completion of this pre-procurement market engagement or soft market testing exercise. Please apply via the EU Supply portal link provided in contact details. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/460fc173-0db9-4c1d-8213-122033c54aed | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Dec 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM TRENT UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG1 4GH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Hyson Green & Arboretum | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 24 Nov 2022 at 11:23 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/460fc173-0db9-4c1d-8213-122033c54aed - 10 Nov 2022 at 13:08 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/460fc173-0db9-4c1d-8213-122033c54aed ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/460fc173-0db9-4c1d-8213-122033c54aed 24th November 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/55895/0/0?returnUrl=ctm/Supplier/publictenders&b=NTU ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
