Description
Pre-market engagement (PME) will be undertaken using a blended approach designed to maximise supplier input and market intelligence. This includes initial expressions of interests from suppliers, a structured supplier questionnaire for soft market testing, and if required the Authority may undertake with one-to-one engagement with suppliers to gain a deeper understanding of specific areas. . The purpose of the engagement questionnaire will be to test market appetite and capacity, and to understand how the supply base could respond to the anticipated requirements. In particular, feedback is sought on the sector’s ability to deliver sufficient capacity, including scalability under varying demand scenarios and resilience of supply chains. Suppliers are also invited to outline innovative treatment solutions, including new or emerging approaches that could improve outcomes, efficiency, or service user experience. Pricing mechanisms will be discussed to assess market views on appropriate models, such as fixed pricing, activity-based payments, or blended structures, and to understand how different approaches might impact risk transfer, value for money, and deliverability. Overall, the engagement will provide valuable insight into market capability, preferred commercial structures, and potential innovation opportunities, helping to inform the development of a procurement strategy that is both realistic and aligned with current market conditions. In the first instance suppliers are asked to express their interest in participating in the Pre-Market Engagement activities and indicate which areas of waste stream contracts they would be able to fulfil as well as their capacity, by e-mailing procurement@flintshire.gov.uk by no later than 10/07/26
