This procurement involves software packages and information systems, aimed at supporting various technological functions within the public sector. Key dates include the engagement end date of 11th October 2021, by which interested suppliers must submit their responses via the NEPO Portal. The project is based in Sunderland, England, and the authority is seeking insights into the capabilities and interests of potential suppliers prior to the formal procurement process. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on IT services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in software development, consulting, and support. Companies that specialise in innovative technology solutions, particularly in the realms of telehealth and internet of things, would find this opportunity particularly pertinent. Engaging early with Sunderland City Council during the planning phase may also enhance visibility and foster relationships that could translate into future collaboration when the procurement process formally commences. ## Notice Scope of Requirements: Sunderland City Council (SCC) is considering appointing a supplier or a consortium of suppliers for the supply, installation and maintenance of a Platform to support a range of functions, including technology assisted living, telecare, telehealth, internet of things and lone working. An overview of the scope of requirements is outlined within the Pre-Procurement Market Testing Questionnaire. Pre-Procurement Market Testing Exercise: Prior to commencing a procurement process, SCC would like to establish whether a supplier or a consortium of suppliers are capable and interested in delivering the essential and desirable requirements of the platform. SCC is keen to obtain up-to-date insight from the market and is therefore undertaking a Pre-Procurement Market Testing exercise to explore business, technological and innovative solutions that are available. In addition, this will allow SCC to gauge the level of market interest. Please note: this Pre-Procurement Market Testing exercise is for information only and in no way forms part of any competitive procurement process. It is only to assess the reaction of the market, which may or may not lead to a procurement opportunity in the future. Written submissions will therefore not be evaluated, scored, or taken into assessment of tenders in any future process in any way. What to do next: The Pre-Procurement Market Testing Questionnaire is available to download from the NEPO Portal once you have registered and expressed an interest in this exercise. Details are as follows: Website: www.nepo.org Reference: DN571649 Instructions: Completed questionnaires must be submitted via the NEPO Portal only. Deadline: Completed questionnaires must be submitted before 12:00 noon on Monday 11th October 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/415f2c02-5b12-4af7-abdb-52503c3e8582 | | 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 | 22 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Oct 2021 | | 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 | SUNDERLAND CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SUNDERLAND | | Post town | Sunderland | | Postcode | SR2 7SN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC44 Sunderland | | Local authority | Sunderland | | Electoral ward | St Michael's | | Westminster constituency | Sunderland Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 22 Sep 2021 at 16:30 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/415f2c02-5b12-4af7-abdb-52503c3e8582 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/415f2c02-5b12-4af7-abdb-52503c3e8582 22nd September 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=6cc4372b-c01b-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
