This initiative falls within the health and social work services category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The process is at the planning stage, with a key milestone, the engagement end date, set for 30 March 2020 at 23:59:59 BST. Participants are invited to submit their feedback via a questionnaire on the City’s e-procurement portal, with submissions due by 10:00 am on the same deadline date. This pre-procurement engagement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute to the development of a City Advice Service. By participating in this soft market testing, businesses can influence future procurement decisions and position themselves favourably for potential upcoming contracts related to health and social work services. Interested businesses should register as suppliers on the specified e-procurement portal and complete the market testing questionnaire to engage with the City of London Corporation effectively. ## Notice The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to a City Advice Service. 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 the City of London Corporation (the City) has for a City Advice service for the City. The soft market testing will comprise the Submission of the SMT Questionnaire - to be received by 10:00am on 30 March 2020 via the capital esourcing portal. If your organisation would like to participate in this market engagement exercise, it can do so by completing and returning the market testing questionnaire which 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 "City Advice Service" where the questionnaire can be obtained. Please ensure the questionnaire is uploaded to the capital esourcing portal ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc7ba4dd-5c36-4ec0-90fa-8040f20f189b | | 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 | 13 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Mar 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 - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 13 Mar 2020 at 16:09 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc7ba4dd-5c36-4ec0-90fa-8040f20f189b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc7ba4dd-5c36-4ec0-90fa-8040f20f189b 13th March 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.capitalesourcing.com Pre-Procurement Market Engagement - City Advice Service ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
