Scope, procedure and submissions

Partner Support for Delivery of Operational Excellence
The NMC has issued a Request for Information (RFI) via the Atamis e-procurement portal.
The purpose of the RFI will be to seek market insight and feedback to help inform the NMC’s requirements, potential procurement approach and specification design. There is an Expression of Interest (EOI) section included in the RFI questionnaire document.
Atamis Portal
If your organisation has not previously registered on the NMC’s Atamis portal, you will need to register in order to access the RFI and submit a response. We would therefore encourage suppliers to register on Atamis in advance of the RFI being published.
If you choose to opt in to this exercise, the RFI documentation can be accessed via our tendering portal (Atamis). For an opportunity to engage in this PME exercise, including completing the RFI questionnaire, please register with our free tendering portal at: https://url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/jczSC5mPiW1AMZiOhlCkAE5F?domain=eu-west-1.protection.sophos.com.
You will need to complete a short form to register, providing company details, categories you can provide goods or services for, and user details including an email address that will be used as your login details.
Supplier Engagement Session
The NMC will also be holding a Supplier Engagement Session on: 27/10/26 @ 15:30 at 23 Portland Place, London W1B 1PZ
The session will provide an opportunity for suppliers to hear more about this project, better understand the anticipated requirements, ask questions, and provide feedback to the project team and Senior Executives. Attendance is encouraged but is not mandatory to participate in this exercise.
Further information on this exercise, including the RFI, Supplier engagement session and details on how to express your interest, are available via Atamis, Project Ref: C1681
