This process is in the planning stage, with no formal procurement opportunity yet defined. The engagement aims to gather input from potential providers on the packaging and scope of future procurement. Interested parties have until 30th September 2025 to participate by completing a developed questionnaire, after which they may be invited to further discussions with the project team. This initiative is designed to provide insights into delivery approaches and gauging market interest for a potential procurement under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023. This preliminary market engagement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software programming, market research, and management consultancy services to influence the shaping of a future tender. Companies with expertise in these domains can utilise this engagement as a platform to establish relationships with Plus Dane Housing and showcase their capabilities, potentially leading to future contracts. The engagement is ideal for businesses eager to expand their reach into public sector procurement and those adaptable to tailoring solutions to client-specific needs within the services sector. ## Notice Plus Dane Housing are running a preliminary market engagement exercise for Customer Segmentation Support.
