PME in this case is where City Corporation, at an early stage in development of its proposals but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity. This exercise will provide an opportunity for City Corporation to obtain insight into how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question. It also gives useful early insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market. Invited participants will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to the soft market testing or failure to attend any follow up face-to-face interviews that may be arranged. Participants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that City Corporation may conduct, nor that City Corporation will procure any such supply and services or accepts any proposals offered. City Corporation has developed a questionnaire (attached to the portal advert) that they would like interested parties to complete; interested participants MAY then be invited to meet with the project team to discuss in more detail the options. As stated above, the outcome of the PME exercise will inform our procurement options appraisal with recommendations. Further detailed reports will be prepared as appropriate in accordance with the City Corporation’s tender and approval procedures, and in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2023. This SMT will comprise: • Submission of the SMT Questionnaire - your questionnaire must be received by the deadline. • Any individual Supplier Meetings (if applicable) will be based on the questions and responses contained within the SMT Questionnaire. The City might invite market operators who submit the SMT Questionnaires to meetings and/or workshops, the City will advise if this will be the case.
