Overview
Hull City Council is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for Outdoor Playground Equipment 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.
Additional details
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 August 2026. The Tender opportunity will develop a closed framework to run for a period of approximately 4 years. The anticipated value of the Framework is approximately £800,000.00 per annum.
