Description
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to inform its requirements for an Integrated Health, Safety, and Risk Management System. This exercise will take the form of a capability assessment. The purpose of this engagement is to understand the solutions available in the market. This is not a call for competition rather participation in a pretender SMT exercise. In order to take part in this capability assessment please email NOC_Tenders@noc.ac.uk no later than 25th of July. We will then provide you a copy of the Capability Assessment to complete. Following the capability assessment the NOC may look to identify a cross section of the market who may be invited to provide additional demonstrations / SMT response questionnaires prior to tender finalisation.
