Engagement process description
Interested parties are required to register their interest through the London Tender portal (https://www.londontenders.org/). Engagement will take the form of two opportunities as follows:
1 - For those parties with a turnover greater than £30m, you are requested to submit a case study demonstrating your experience of a comparable project by 30/04/2025. Case studies will be reviewed by the Council and the most appropriate 10 organisations will be invited to a maximum one hour one-to-one session with Council staff on 6th or 7th May. For absolute clarity, attendance at these sessions is entirely at the discretion of the Council. The purpose of this session will be to discuss the Council's plans and assumptions made and to gather feedback on the project.
2 - For those parties with a turnover less than £30m, or who do not have comparable project experience, the Council will be holding a single group session later in the year in order to provide information on the project and raise awareness of potential supply chain opportunities. The Council hopes that interested parties will attend this event in order to make themselves known to the main Contractor and gain knowledge on work packages which they may be able to assist with.
There is no requirement for Contractors to be involved in the market engagement, and this will have no bearing on any future tender opportunities. Any responses to future tender opportunities will be evaluated independently of any involvement, or not, in the market engagement.
