Engagement process description
Your response is very important and will allow RBKC to assess the views of potential providers in the market and inform the procurement strategy. RBKC plan to finalise their procurement strategy by early Summer 2025 with a view to commencing procurement in late Summer 2025. It is envisaged that the new provider(s) will commence service delivery by April 1st, 2026, at the latest. At present these dates represent indicative timeframes only and may be subject to change.
This questionnaire will not form part of the formal procurement process. All responses are to be submitted via our e-Procurement system, Jaggaer, by 02nd May 2025. All responses received by this date will be considered but will not bind either Authority to any particular procurement approach. RBKC reserves the right to not review any responses received after the submission date.
Organisations are also invited to a market engagement event which will provide further insight of the requirements, the services, indicative timescales and procurement approach. The briefing will most likely be held virtually via Microsoft Teams in May.
