The consultation is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 11th March 2022. This initiative falls under the industry category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. Businesses interested in participating must submit their responses to the PMC questionnaire before the deadline, with all necessary documentation available through the specified online platforms. This PMC represents an opportunity for local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSE) to engage with the Council and influence future procurement strategies. Although participation in the PMC does not guarantee a subsequent procurement opportunity, it allows businesses to share insights and showcase their capabilities, positioning them favourably for potential contracts in the food and beverage supply sector for public institutions. This engagement will also help suppliers understand market requirements better, thus enhancing their competitive edge. ## Notice North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) is conducting a Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) to share with the market its ideas for supply of food and beverage to its new tearoom at Grimsby Crematorium, and to gather feedback on these ideas. PMC allows local authorities and other contracting authorities in the public sector to engage with a market. PMC is designed to encourage the commercial and voluntary sectors to engage with the development process before a procurement is released. This is the market's opportunity to express its views, outline market developments and generally influence how solutions to the Authority's needs might be met. There is nothing for the Authority to evaluate or select in this activity. PMC is not a call for competition. Following PMC, the Authority may conclude that procurement is not the best solution to meet a particular strategy outcome. The Authority may conclude that it would be better to do something entirely different to the intent within this PMC. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PMC understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed. It is therefore essential that organisations understand that this activity is not part of a procurement exercise and involvement in the PMC does not affect an organisation's positioning either positively or negatively should a procurement opportunity arise subsequently.
