- Market engagement9 Jul 2025, 23:59 BST
Market engagement for RM6376 began in December 2024 with premarket engagement for customers, stakeholders, and partners (YPO, ESPO, NEPO). We had 2 market sector sessions (one in person in London, one virtual) with our key industry bodies (REC and APSCo) and their suppliers, and one further virtual supplier session for suppliers interested in potentially bidding for the resulting framework contract.
Based on feedback from our pre market engagement, options were then proposed to the market in our second set of market engagement sessions in March 2025 which gave specific insight into the agreement design.Specific feedback was sought on lot structure, permanent provision and temp to perm fees.
Crown Commercial Service intends to hold further market engagement sessions In June and July 2025 to present back our finalised ideas to the market.
If you are interested in attending a market engagement session please visit www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6376 ↗ to regularly review for details of the sessions.
