Description

Hull City Council is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for Supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Workwear Framework. PME allows local authorities and other contracting authorities in the public sector, to engage with a market. PME is designed to encourage the commercial and voluntary sectors to engage with the development process before a procurement is undertaken. This is the market’s opportunity to express its views, outline market developments and generally influence how solutions to the Authority’s’ needs might be met. PME is not a call for competition. Following PME, the authority may conclude that procurement is not the best solution to meet a particular strategy outcome. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PME understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed. It is therefore essential that organisations understand that this activity does not affect an organisation’s positioning either positively or negatively should a procurement opportunity arise subsequently. The Tender opportunity is anticipated to be published within February 2026. The Tender opportunity will develop a closed framework to run for a period of approximately 4 years. The anticipated value of the Frameworks is approximately £300,000.00 per annum.
