## Summary

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead is currently planning a procurement process titled "Request for Information - Web Portal Development." This initiative aims to identify market providers capable of collaborating with the hospital to design and develop a national web portal for procurement professionals. Important dates include an engagement end date set for 25th June 2020, when interested parties must express their interest to participate. The industry category is focused on web search engine providers and associated services, with a procurement method grounded in preliminary market engagement.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in web development and portal solutions to expand their market presence. Suppliers that design and implement web platforms or offer services related to web-based operations will find this engagement particularly relevant. Firms should prepare to submit innovative ideas and solutions, as the procurement process is not a formal selection but rather an information-gathering exercise that may lay the groundwork for future competitive opportunities.

## Notice

QE Facilities are looking to carry out a preliminary market engagement exercise to establish providers that are currently present in the market place with the ability to work alongside QE Facilities to design and develop a web portal that would be used nationally by procurement professionals. In advance of any Procurement or mini competition/ direct call-off process under a previously procured Framework Agreement, QE Facilities intends to invite interested parties to participate in the following scoping exercise. Please note, this exercise is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process. It is intended as an awareness, communication and information-gathering exercise offering an opportunity for interested parties to provide information/present solutions to QE Facilities. Potential Providers should express their interest to access the Request for information (RFI) documentation to rebecca.appleby@nhs.net . This should be no later than close of business on 26th June 2020 A Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will then be issued to the interested parties, and on its return to the above email address access will be granted to the RFI on nhssourcing.co.uk.
