Please note that advance registration is required in order to attend. General details and live procurement information can be found here: https://scape.co.uk/live-procurement
Details of the questions asked by participants and any answers given will be added to a Q&A document, which will be issued along with the Tender Notice. All feedback will be taken into review and will be given an equal weighting to ensure that no advantage is gained by any Consultant as a result of their participation.
Past Market Engagement:
Market engagement sessions were held by SCAPE with key organisations (both Clients and Consultants) within the corporate services space. Engagement activities commenced on 04/11/2024 and will continue until 27/02/2026. During market engagement sessions that were undertaken prior to this notice, information was provided on the upcoming procurement and an opportunity to give feedback on specific points was provided to the organisations who participated.
An independent consultant under NDA was appointed by SCAPE to undertake initial market engagement on 04/11/2024. Results of this engagement were anonymised and only the categories of organisations and individuals engaged were shared with SCAPE.
Suppliers participating in the market engagement activities were asked a standard set of questions, all of which have been recorded. SCAPE has taken great care to ensure this process has not given undue advantage as a result of any participation. All feedback has been taken into review as a whole and has been given equal consideration.
