The preliminary market consultation aims to gather insights on the current specification and key performance indicators (KPIs) before officially inviting tenders at the end of May 2021. Key engagement date for potential suppliers to provide feedback is set for 18 May 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to engage in the delivery of adult education services in the West Midlands. The process allows suppliers to propose enhancements to the tender specification and KPIs, fostering a collaborative approach that can lead to innovative solutions. Firms specialising in training and educational support are particularly well-suited to compete in this opportunity, which not only opens doors for new contracts but also contributes to the wider community’s skill development initiatives. ## Notice The purpose of this preliminary market consultation (PMC) is to obtain any questions and comments that potential suppliers may have about our current specification and key performance indicators (KPIs) for this intended procurement. The PMC will provide an opportunity for Wolverhampton City Council (WCC) to obtain an insight into whether potential suppliers find our current specification and key performance indicators (KPIs) to be: 1. clear, understandable and unambiguous - subject to any questions or comments you may send us; 2. fair, reasonable and vendor neutral - subject to any questions or comments you may send us; and 3. acceptable in respect of containing a reasonable level of remedy for minor (not material) failures to meet our proposed KPIs, in the form of proportionate and appropriate deductions, to be determined by us in our sole discretion, acting reasonably, up to a maximum limit of 10% of the monies due to providers (although some deductions might occasionally be waived for goodwill). Potential suppliers will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to this PMC. Potential suppliers must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in any future procurement that WCC may conduct. Any procurement exercise will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Please note that this notice is for conducting a PMC exercise and is not a call for competition. It does not formally begin the procurement process or constitute any commitment by WCC to undertake any procurement exercise or form any contractual relationship. This PMC is a soft market testing exercise in advance of an intended procurement: it is not a procurement itself. We intend to issue a formal invitation to tender at the end of May 2021. Neither the intention nor the purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to confer any advantage upon its participants in the expected future invitation to tender process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d660fba-8e34-40d5-bb8a-2bca8e199c9c | | 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 | 4 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 18 May 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 | WOLVERHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | WOLVERHAMPTON | | Post town | Wolverhampton | | Postcode | WV1 1RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG39 Wolverhampton | | Local authority | Wolverhampton | | Electoral ward | St Peters | | Westminster constituency | Wolverhampton West | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 4 May 2021 at 13:36 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d660fba-8e34-40d5-bb8a-2bca8e199c9c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d660fba-8e34-40d5-bb8a-2bca8e199c9c 4th May 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.wolverhamptontenders.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
