- Dundee City Council is undertaking this Prior Information Notice (PIN) and market engagement exercise to better understand the solutions currently available within the market for construction consultant resource and project management software. The information gathered will assist the Council in developing its procurement strategy, refining its requirements and determining the most appropriate route to market. As part of this exercise, the Council intends to invite selected suppliers to participate in product demonstrations, currently anticipated to take place during early October 2026 (please note, these dates are indicative only). These demonstrations will provide an opportunity for the Council to gain a greater understanding of available solutions, functionality, implementation approaches and delivery models. Suppliers wishing to be considered for participation in the demonstration stage are requested to complete and return the attached questionnaire. The information provided will be used solely for market engagement purposes and to assist the Council in identifying suppliers whose solutions appear capable of meeting the Council's requirements. Completed questionnaires should be submitted by 12 Noon on 25 September 2026 to trina.forbes@dundeecity.gov.uk. Suppliers who do not submit a completed questionnaire will not be considered for participation in the demonstration stage. The Council reserves the right to limit the number of demonstrations undertaken and participation in this market engagement exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process. Additional information: This PIN is issued for market engagement purposes only and will not be used to evaluate, select or exclude suppliers in any future procurement process. Information received will help Dundee City Council understand the market, develop its requirements and determine the most appropriate procurement approach. Participation is voluntary and does not commit the Council to proceed.Value not stated
