Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust ("MEH"), acting as the contracting authority on behalf of both MEH and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology ("UCL IoO"), is inviting expressions of interest from suppliers to participate in preliminary market engagement in relation to the proposed procurement of Wayfinding and Signage Services for the Oriel development (the "Services").
This market engagement aims to:

- provide an overview of the proposed scope and programme requirements; and
- obtain supplier feedback to help inform the final procurement and contract approach.
Proposed engagement activity (webinar and questionnaire)
As part of this process, the Authority intends to hold an information-only virtual webinar via Microsoft Teams during which further detail regarding the proposed requirement, scope and programme will be presented. Suppliers will also have the opportunity to raise clarification questions during the session.
Following the webinar, interested suppliers will be issued with a Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire to obtain supplier feedback on the proposed approach and delivery considerations.
How to register
Suppliers wishing to participate in the preliminary market engagement exercise should register their interest by emailing [email protected] by no later than 5:00 pm on Wednesday, 20th May 2026.
Suppliers registering their interest should provide:
- organisation name;
- names and email addresses of attendees wishing to attend the webinar; and
- a primary contact for future correspondence.
Following registration, suppliers will receive webinar joining instructions and further information regarding the questionnaire process.
Completed questionnaire responses must be submitted by the deadline stated in the webinar materials and/or covering correspondence.
Important note
Participation in this engagement exercise is voluntary and does not form part of any formal procurement process. Participation in the preliminary market engagement exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process. The Authority reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue the engagement exercise and/or any future procurement process at any time.
