Description
As part of its reprocurement strategy, the Council is considering a range of future delivery models. The Council is therefore inviting interested suppliers, contractors and market participants to complete an Early Market Engagement Questionnaire. The questionnaire seeks feedback on: • Market appetite for alternative contract scopes; • Commercial implications of different packaging arrangements; • Delivery and integration risks; • Contract structure and risk allocation; • The future treatment of street lighting services; and • Any other matters that may assist the Council in developing its future procurement strategy. Responses will be used to inform the Council's preferred delivery model, future procurement strategy and the scope and structure of the future contract. The Council may undertake follow-up discussions or clarification meetings with respondents as part of the engagement process. PME exercise can be found on ProContract/Supplying the South West: https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/, project ID DN822367 Participation in this engagement exercise is entirely voluntary and is intended solely to assist the Council in understanding market views. This notice and the associated questionnaire do not constitute a call for competition, invitation to tender, or commitment to undertake any procurement. Participation will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process.
