This tender falls under the electrical machinery and building installation industry categories and is scheduled for soft market testing between 12th and 14th September 2017, at Hackney Town Hall. Interested suppliers must submit their expressions of interest by 4th September 2017, with the total value of the procurement set at £5,000,000. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical installation and safety services, particularly those experienced in lightning protection systems. Companies that can demonstrate previous experience and capacity to discuss aspects such as contract structuring, cost impacts, and performance metrics will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this soft market testing will allow potential suppliers to influence the upcoming procurement process, ensuring their concerns and suggestions are considered in the final tendering strategy. ## Notice Introduction The Council's current for lightning protection installation, testing and repair is about to expire and before it begins the re- procurement the Council would like to discuss the procurement route and contract structure with potential suppliers. Areas for discussion in the soft market testing The Councils would like to explore with suppliers the following aspects of this significant and imminent procurement:- How many suppliers should be on the framework and the method of work allocation Pressures which affect your cost base Procurement route proposed (restricted with a lightly tailored Government- mandated standard Selection Questionnaire) The use of the TPC/ PPC versus NEC 4 contract forms o What contract forms have you delivered this service under elsewhere Any issues in the lightning conduction field likely to lead to risk- based pricing by bidders Performance monitoring of the contract post- award o What KPIS would work for you? Mobilisation and service set up o How much time do you need to mobilise? Applying If you would like to see us to discuss this opportunity please write in no more than 400 words describing your interest in the procurement, your past experience in the field and the points you would like to discuss. Please address the points above and any other points you wish to raise. Please use the pro- forma at the end of this document if it is helpful. Soft market testing is planned to take place between the 12th and 14th September 2017 in Hackney Town Hall. Each party would have 2 hours with a common agenda. If you are not seen please rest assured this will not disadvantage you in the forthcoming formal procurement. All parties which express an interest will receive anonymised feedback from the soft market testing event before the OJEU notice is published (marking the start of the formal procurement procedure). We will ensure that information of a commercially confidential nature will not be included in feedback to interest parties. Once the formal procurement process begins, Hackney will keep participants informed at appropriate stages of the procurement. Please see your submission via the London Tenders by the 4th September 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/405ff56d-f7b9-4e9f-8901-767ed1b2deff | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | 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 | LONDON BOROUGH OF HACKNEY | | Locality | HACKNEY | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E8 1BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Hackney | | Electoral ward | Hackney Central | | Westminster constituency | Hackney South and Shoreditch | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 31000000 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 31200000 - Electricity distribution and control apparatus - 31210000 - Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits - 31216000 - Lightning arrestors - 31216200 - Lightning conductors - 45300000 - Building installation work - 45310000 - Electrical installation work - 45312311 - Lightning-conductor installation work ## Release History - 16 Jul 2017 at 12:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/405ff56d-f7b9-4e9f-8901-767ed1b2deff ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/405ff56d-f7b9-4e9f-8901-767ed1b2deff 16th July 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.hackney.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
