The University of Edinburgh is seeking views and information from the market in connection with the next generation contract for building fabric maintenance services.
The University of Edinburgh recognises the value of market participants having the opportunity to contribute to the development of the procurement strategy on an open and equal basis. Thus, in line with the requirements of Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, we will be conducting preliminary market consultation.
The University of Edinburgh plans to employ a variety of market engagement methods such as questionnaires and supplier engagement sessions as part of this market research. Your participation and submission of information is voluntary, and will not affect your ability to bid for the requirement once advertised, nor will it be considered as part of any evaluation.
No supplier will be disadvantaged by not wishing to participate in any market research requests.
It is envisaged the contract will be broken into two geographical areas but this is still to be confirmed. Additional information: To participate in our market engagement sessions, please email [email protected] by close of Friday 30th June.
In addition, please note your interest in this PIN for further updates and access to the tender documents once advertised.
