Engagement
Engagement deadline
13 June 2025
Engagement process description
We are interested in speaking to providers who can offer the services we are seeking and ask that you respond directly to rebecca.mcmahon@gstt.nhs.uk providing information on the services your company provide and any experience in this area. The deadline for responses is 5pm on Friday 13th June. Any feedback received during this time will be used for information purposes only. Feedback will not be evaluated or scored, and it will have no bearing on any potential future tender exercise or contract award. Providing information at this stage will in no way obligate your organisation to tender. Conversely, failing to participate in this preliminary market engagement process will in no way preclude your organisation from participating in any potential future tender exercise. GSTT's intention is to reserve judgement on its route to market until after the conclusion of this market consultation phase of the project.
