Description
A market sounding exercise is being undertaken via a questionnaire, which will be published on YORtender (https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=yortender.eu-supply.com). Suppliers are required to be registered on YORtender in order to access the questionnaire. Once logged in, please search for the opportunity using reference 97659. Please complete the questionnaire and submit via the YORtender portal before the closing date (12 noon on Monday 28th April 2025). Clarification questions should be raised via the YORtender portal prior to the deadline. Interested parties should note that if this market sounding exercise identifies that the market is extremely limited or there is a lack of understanding regarding the subject matter, the council reserves the right to seek authorisation through its governance procedure to enter into a contract with an organisation that satisfies the criteria, as detailed in Appendix 1 of the questionnaire. If more than one organisation satisfies the requirements of the criteria, the service will be subject to a formal competitive tendering exercise.
