## Description
Derry City and Strabane District Council intend to commence a robust, credible and transparent preliminary market engagement exercise to develop a deliverable and affordable option for Strabane Leisure Centre in order to achieve a successful contract award by June 2027. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement (PME) is to gather insights and feedback from the market to inform the development of the procurement strategy and specification for Strabane Leisure Centre and road alignment as well as assisting Derry City and Strabane District Council to ensure that the most efficient and effective methods of procurement are considered. The first phase of the market engagement exercise will be participation from the supply base through the attached questionnaire. Responses to these questions will help Derry City and Strabane District Council gather comprehensive information about potential suppliers and the services they offer. This will allow us to make informed decisions regarding our specification and procurement strategy before entering the market with a full procurement competition. At this stage, any information gathered through this engagement exercise will solely inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process; and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market engagement shall not prevent any provider participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any provider at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. In responding, it is important to note that detailed and lengthy submissions are not necessary at this stage and generic marketing material is not required. Nonetheless, we welcome any pertinent information on your company’s capability and views on the range of services required. **PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE eTendersNI PortaI.*** Respondees are not required to wait until the closing date to submit a response. PME QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSES MAY BE SUBMITTED VIA THE ETENDERSNI CFT MESSAGING FACILITY AT ANY TIME UP TO 12:00 on 20th November2026***
