This process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for the 5th of October 2020 at 10:00 am. Interested organisations can participate by submitting their responses via the capital e-sourcing portal before the deadline. This soft market testing provides an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the leisure and fitness sector, to showcase their capabilities and influence future procurement decisions by the City of London Corporation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as their insights may contribute to shaping the requirements for the upcoming Leisure Service contract. Businesses should prepare to complete the SMT questionnaire, which is available on the e-procurement portal. ## Notice The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out Pre-procurement market engagement ('PPME') in relation to a Leisure Services- Golden Lane Sport and Fitness Centre Management Contract. 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 new Leisure Service - Golden Lane Sport and Fitness Centre Management Contract. The soft market testing will involve the submission of the SMT questionnaire - to be received by 10.00am on 05.10.2020 via the capital esourcingportal. 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 Leisure Services where the questionnaire can be obtained.
