What is being bought

Published requirement description

Plus Dane Housing are running a preliminary market engagement exercise for Customer Household Bills Support Service.

Plus Dane is at an early stage in the development of its requirements and is testing the market prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity to seek input as to what might be the most potentially attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement. This exercise will provide an opportunity for Plus Dane to obtain insight as to how potential providers might approach delivery and provide useful insight into the likely level of interest in the market.

Potential bidders will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to the preliminary market engagement. Potential bidders must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that Plus Dane may conduct, nor that Plus Dane will procure any such contract. Any procurement carried out will strictly be in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023 and internal policies.

Plus Dane has developed a questionnaire that they would like interested parties to complete, interested parties may then be invited to meet with the project team to discuss the options in more detail.

The outcome of the market engagement will inform an options appraisal with recommendations on how to progress.
