Supplier Engagement: South Tyneside Council would like to undertake a market engagement event with organisations interesting in tendering for and delivering these works.
Please note that participation in this engagement event or registration of interest will not give any advantage in this procurement opportunity, but is purely an opportunity to
potentially shape the requirements. We will consult with interested parties to get views and comments on the planned approach to market. Your responses will help to inform the
procurement although we cannot guarantee that all views expressed will be taken into account.
The market engagement event is anticipated to take place on 6th April 2022 in the form of a MS Teams meeting or similar.

suppliers will be required to express interest in this opportunity on the NEPO ProContract system. If not already registered on ProContract please register at the following link:
