Description
The preliminary market engagement will comprise a written questionnaire followed by individual one-hour Microsoft Teams engagement sessions with respondents. Suppliers are invited to complete and return the PME questionnaire by 7 September 2026. Following review of responses, individual supplier engagement sessions are expected to take place during the last two weeks of September 2026. The sessions will provide an opportunity to explore responses in further detail and discuss available solution and delivery models, implementation approaches, commercial considerations, indicative costs and other matters relevant to the development of the Assembly Commission’s requirements. Participation in the engagement is voluntary and will not form part of the evaluation of any subsequent procurement exercise. Further details and arrangements for the individual engagement sessions will be provided to respondents following closure of the written PME.
