The questionnaire can be accessed through the In-tend e-procurement portal on the following link (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/york/aspx/Home) until 17:00 Monday 1st September 2025 The aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is twofold, firstly to notify the market of the University's requirements, and for the University to obtain detailed feedback from potential suppliers who can deliver the requirements to the University. The University intends to utilise the information collected from this engagement questionnaire to develop a procurement strategy to take to market to procure and secure a supplier to meet its requirements. It is hoped that shaping and refining the procurement strategy will result in an awareness of the University's requirements within the marketplace, and that early engagement with suppliers will enable the University to achieve its objectives. This engagement process shall therefore be of benefit to both the University and potential bidders. This document asks questions on areas where the University is keen to receive feedback. These are not considered exhaustive, and respondents are invited to raise other areas they believe are relevant. Parties wishing to take part in this engagement process are asked to complete the questionnaire and return by upload to the In-tend e-procurement portal (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/york/aspx/Home) by 17:00 Monday 1st September 2025.", "dueDate": "2025-09-01T23:59:59+01:00", "status": "scheduled" } ] }, "parties": [ { "id": "GB-UKPRN-10007167", "name": "University of York", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-UKPRN", "id": "10007167" }, "additionalIdentifiers": [ { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PRDQ-5539-WTHX" } ], "address": { "streetAddress": "Heslington", "locality": "York", "postalCode": "YO10 5DD", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKE21" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "procurement@york.ac.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "http://www.york.ac.uk", "classifications": [ { "id": "publicAuthoritySubCentralGovernment", "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "description": "Public authority - sub-central government" } ] } }, { "id": "GB-COH-06124779", "name": "THE UNIVERSITY CATERERS ORGANISATION LIMITED", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-COH", "id": "06124779" }, "additionalIdentifiers": [ { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PGVP-3345-RDVR" } ], "address": { "streetAddress": "Mitchell Charlesworth", "locality": "Manchester", "postalCode": "M2 5GP", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKD33" }, "roles": [ "tenderer" ], "details": { "url": "http://www.tuco.ac.uk", "scale": "sme", "vcse": false } }, { "id": "GB-PPON-PRZL-8147-TNNW", "name": "PELICAN PROCUREMENT SERVICES LIMITED T/A AVENDRA INTERNATIONAL", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PRZL-8147-TNNW" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Ascent 4, Farnborough Aerospace Centre", "locality": "Farnborough", "postalCode": "GU14 6XN", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKJ37" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "tenderdepartment@pelicanprocurement.co.uk" }, "roles": [ "supplier", "tenderer" ], "details": { "scale": "sme", "vcse": false, "publicServiceMissionOrganization": false, "shelteredWorkshop": false } } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-UKPRN-10007167", "name": "University of York" }, "tender": { "id": "UY PROC 1203", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Catering purchasing service (including a products management system)", "description": "The University of York has conducted a tender process to appoint a Supplier for the provision of a fully integrated catering purchasing service (including a products management system).
