                "description": "The purpose of this PME is to gather industry expertise and feedback that will inform the development of our final project and procurement requirements. Objectives: * Developing the University's requirements and approach to the procurement; * Designing a procedure, conditions of participation or award criteria; * Preparing the tender notice and associated tender documents; * Identifying suppliers that may be able to supply the goods, services or works required; * Identifying likely contractual terms; * Building capacity among suppliers in relation to the contract being awarded. Suppliers interested in participating in this PME process are required to express their interest by email to procurement@bournemouth.ac.uk with the subject heading \"EST/OS/501 - Bus Service PME\". Once suppliers have expressed their interest we will provide further information on the requirements with a Questionnaire for your completion. BU are intending on holding one-to-one discussions/meetings with interested suppliers on the week commencing 02 November 2026. Suppliers will be shortlisted for meetings based on the answers provided in the Questionnaires. Please note that while we aim to engage with a broad range of suppliers, it may not be possible to invite all interested parties to a meeting. Participation in this exercise is voluntary, and there is no obligation for BU to meet with every supplier who expresses an interest and submits a completed Questionnaire. This PME is not a request for quotation. BU's current intention is to conduct an openly advertised tender process at a later stage. There is no obligation for suppliers to respond to this PME. Supplier responses (or lack thereof) to this exercise will not be used to determine which suppliers will be carried forward to tender process or in any subsequent evaluation of supplier proposals. The University's current intention is that any future procurement opportunity arising from this requirement will be advertised separately at a later date.",
