## Description
This PIN is for market engagement purposes and is not being used as a call for competition. This PIN is intended to: 
1. Advise of the forthcoming virtual market engagement event which will be held on 4th March 2022; and 
2. Ask suppliers to complete a short questionnaire; and
3. Assess market interest and capability to deliver UK ENIC requirements.
UK ENIC (The European Network of Information Centres) is the UK’s National Agency responsible for providing information, advice and expert opinion on vocational, academic and professional qualifications from over 200 countries. UK ENIC provides the sole official source of information on international education, wide-ranging international qualifications and skills attained from outside the UK and does so on behalf of individuals with overseas qualifications, Government departments, academic institutions and commercial companies. 
It is envisaged that any resulting contract(s) would be a concession contract(s) and that the procurement will be governed by the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.
Details of Market Engagement:
This PIN has been issued with a reasonably detailed overview of the service requirements and proposed market engagement activities. The market engagement will consist of two separate activities:
1. A supplier questionnaire
2. A Virtual Market Engagement Event (4th March 2022, 11AM-12PM)
The overall aim of these engagements will be to:
• Provide the opportunity to engage with the market and assess market interest in delivering UK ENIC requirements; and
• Advise of potential next steps in the process; and
• Allow interested parties to ask questions about the UK ENIC service.
Supplier Questionnaire:
Suppliers are invited to complete the questionnaire ahead of the Virtual Market Engagement Event on 4th March 2022. Responses to the questionnaire will be used to inform the content of the Virtual Market Engagement Event.
