This engagement is conducted in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits contracting authorities to engage with the market prior to commencing a procurement procedure. The purpose of this PME is to: - Understand market capacity and interest. - Check and develop procurement requirements. - Help design procedures, participation conditions and award criteria. - Identify any potential barriers to participation. Participation in this PME is voluntary, but SGC encourages any organisation or group of organisations interested in bidding for this contract to respond to the questions contained within it’s ‘Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire’, including SMEs. Your feedback is valuable in helping us shape a fair, transparent and effective procurement process. SGC are still finalising their approach and documentation.

Please email place.procurement@southglos.gov.uk to request the PME Questionnaire.
