Tender description

The City of London Corporation (the ‘City’) is carrying out Pre-procurement market engagement (‘PPME’) in relation to a rough sleeping outreach service. The City will consider the feedback received to help inform its options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the City is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the City. Please refer to II.2.4) Description of the procurement below for details on how to obtain the relevant documentation. This is a soft market testing exercise in relation to an upcoming requirement the City of London Corporation (the City) has for a new rough sleeping outreach service for the City. The service is a contributor to the City’s Department of Community and Children’s Services (DCCS) business plan of providing a safe environment, more specifically that people of ages live in safe communities, safe accommodation and are protected from harm. The soft market testing will comprise: — seeking expressions of interest and the option for organisations to attend the provider event on 25.9.2019, — submission of the SMT questionnaire — to be received by 12.00 noon on 19.9.2019 via the capital esourcing portal. If your organisation would like to participate in this market engagement exercise and attend the provider event, it can do so by completing and returning the market testing questionnaire which can be found on the City’s e-procurement portal at www.capitalesourcing.com Participants should register as a supplier on the portal on the aforementioned link (if not already), then search for the opportunity titled ‘Rough Sleeping Outreach Service’ where the questionnaire can be obtained. Please ensure the questionnaire is uploaded to the capital esourcing portal www.capitalesourcing.com by 12.00 noon on 19.9.2019.
