The submission deadline for responses is 12:00 pm on February 24, 2023, with all information available via the EU-Supply platform. This tender opportunity by the North East Lincolnshire Council provides a chance for businesses, especially in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, to engage and provide input before the formal procurement process begins. Companies involved in software and information systems development would be well-suited to compete in this market consultation. The PMC is not a call for competition but an opportunity to influence how the Authority's needs might be met. Participating organisations should note that involvement in the PMC does not impact their positioning for future procurement opportunities. ## Notice The purpose of this Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) is to share with the market North East Lincolnshire Council's (the Authority) ideas for the supply of a Childrens Services Platform through and to gather feedback on these ideas and to seek ideas about opportunities and innovation in the market. 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. Please note that the submission deadline for responses to the questionnaire, which is available via https://yortender.eu-supply.com/, is 12.00pm (midday) on the 24th February 2023. All Information and documents are only available via https://yortender.eu-supply.com All questions must only be asked via https://yortender.eu-supply.com This is a follow up PMC following on from a previous exercise which took place in November 2021 for an Education Management System (2021/S 000-028360). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afd623ce-5132-4c6b-a506-37b33bc05d2a | | 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 | 31 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Feb 2023 | | 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 | NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | GRIMSBY | | Post town | Doncaster | | Postcode | DN31 1HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE13 North and North East Lincolnshire | | Local authority | North East Lincolnshire | | Electoral ward | West Marsh | | Westminster constituency | Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 31 Jan 2023 at 09:31 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afd623ce-5132-4c6b-a506-37b33bc05d2a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afd623ce-5132-4c6b-a506-37b33bc05d2a 31st January 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://yortender.eu-supply.com - https://yortender.eu-supply.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
