Engagement process description
The University of Birmingham is looking to undertake pre-tender market engagement in relation to an upcoming tender opportunity for the Framework Agreement for the Provision of Furniture & Related Services.
The University is planning to hold a supplier event(s) and meetings to engage with suppliers to gain a better understanding of the market, discuss supplier insights, understand supplier capacity to deliver the University's requirements and discuss the tender process itself.
Following supplier engagement, it is the University's intention to conduct a tender exercise with a select list of suppliers. To finalise this list, additional supplier‑specific information may be requested as needed.
