Soft Market Testing Exercise - Sports Equipment

Tender description

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council ("the Council") is in the process of re-procuring its contract for Sports Equipment which expires 31st August 2021 and is conducting a Soft Market Testing Exercise (the "SMTE") as a method of gathering market intelligence. The Sports Equipment contract serves approximately 80 schools but for the re-tender exercise we are looking to add our Leisure Centres and other council departments that use sports equipment. Current spend is approximately £60,000 per year but this could potentially increase with the addition of other council departments.

Larger items such as move-able netball nets and goals. Additional information: THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION - Market testing exercise only. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
