Engagement

Engagement process description

Prior to initiating the procurement, SLC wishes to establish the level of market interest to participating in the forth coming procurement process.

Suitably qualified and experienced suppliers who may have an interest in this project are invited to complete the questionnaire that is available to registered suppliers via the Delta e-tendering system, for this Preliminary Market Engagement. The high level requirements are detailed within the online questionnaire.

The purpose of the market engagement is to help assess the reaction of the market, to understand risks and future possibilities to ensure a future proofed procurement strategy and resulting contract. Please note that lengthy questionnaire responses are not necessary at this stage. However, SLC would welcome any pertinent information on your company's views on an approach to the provision of the required services.

Any submission received in response to this exercise will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and SLC. Nor does the receipt of a response automatically include the respondent in the procurement process.

A Tender Notice will be issued to the market which will provide details of how the relating procurement documentation can be accessed and timescales for submission of the said tender response.

Interested parties shall bear their own costs of participation in this Market Engagement of whatever nature. SLC shall not be liable for the costs, expenses or losses howsoever arising (including, without limitation, any loss of profit or other economic loss incurred), regardless of the outcome of the Market Engagement.

The next stage in the process will be considered once this exercise has been completed. **PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED, BEFORE 15:00 on the date specified within the Preliminary Market Engagement tenderbox.
