This initiative falls under the category of energy and related services, with a specific focus on human resources management consultancy services. The procurement process is in the planning stage, providing an early opportunity for market participants to influence the development of the formal procurement strategy. The SMT questionnaire is currently available, and potential participants are encouraged to submit their insights by accessing it online. The primary location for this project is in London (UKI) with an estimated contract value of £528,000. Key dates include an upcoming notice on 13th November 2023. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in energy supply and consultancy services to engage early with a prominent public authority. Companies with expertise in large-scale energy projects and strategic consultancy are particularly well-suited to benefit from this engagement. Participating in the SMT can offer valuable insights into upcoming procurement strategies and potentially influence the structuring of future contracts. Such involvement could pave the way for securing long-term, high-value contracts with the City of London Corporation, thereby fostering business growth and sectoral prominence. Interested parties should ensure timely participation to maximise their influence and visibility in this critical market opportunity. ## Notice The soft market testing (SMT), in this case is where City Corporation, at an early stage in development of its proposals but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity. This exercise will provide an opportunity for City Corporation to obtain insight into how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question. It also gives useful early insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market. Invited participants will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to the soft market testing or failure to attend any follow up face-to-face interviews that may be arranged. Participants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that City Corporation may conduct, nor that City Corporation will procure any such supply and services or accepts any proposals offered. Any procurement of the supply and services by City Corporation will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. City Corporation has developed a questionnaire (attached at the end of this document) that they would like interested parties to complete; interested participants MAY then be invited to meet with the project team to discuss in more detail the options. As stated above, the outcome of the SMT exercise will inform our procurement options appraisal with recommendations. Further detailed reports will be prepared as appropriate in accordance with the City Corporation's tender and approval procedures, and in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Soft Market Testing exercise in relation to the upcoming procurement exercise for the City of London Energy Supply contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031151-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 30 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Nov 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £528,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71314000 - Energy and related services - 79414000 - Human resources management consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Sep 2024 at 10:36 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031151-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.capitalesourcing.com - http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
