The deadline for responding to the RFI has been extended to 17:00 (5pm) on 16 June 2026.\nSuppliers wishing to participate in the engagement process must first express an interest as follows:\n(a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for opportunity '390_27' (via \"View Opportunities\" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest.\nSuppliers can then access the RFI questionnaire in the Messages section via the Activity dashboard once an expression of interest has been registered. Responses to the RFI as well as any questions or clarifications should be submitted to ESPO as a message on the eProcurement Portal.\nESPO may contact suppliers to seek clarification or understanding of the information provided in their RFI response or to discuss their RFI responses in further detail. A second RFI may also be issued if required. At ESPO's discretion, site visits to supplier premises may be carried out as a part of the process.\nPotential bidders will not be prejudiced by any participation or failure to participate to this preliminary market engagement exercise and should note that a response to this preliminary market engagement exercise does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that ESPO may conduct.",
