Soft Market Testing - Vending Machines Solution

Tender description

Wirral Council is currently reviewing its Vending Service offering across the Authority as part of its Strategic Recovery Plan. Therefore, Wirral would like to understand the Markets interest and Plausible innovative or added value that could be offered as part of any resulting contract agreement. Therefore, Wirral is seeking views from potential providers on how best to deliver a Vending Solution across its Leisure Services, and possibly beyond. The aim of this Soft Market Testing Exercise (the "SMT") is to; • understand the optimum way of delivering a Vending Service across the Council; • for the Council to gain a better understanding of how the provider market operates in relation to innovation, value for money, cost reduction, revenue generation, service levels, management information, etc; • to assist the Council in developing appropriate procurement documentation; and see whether the market has experience of being involved in delivering similar projects. If you feel that your organisation can contribute to this SMT please complete the questionnaire and return, by Monday 27th June 2022 10:00 Hrs Please note that this is not a call for competition, or neither is it a procurement exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, this SMT is for the purpose of conducting a soft market testing exercise and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by the Council to undertake any procurement exercise.
