Property Services - Prior Information Notice.

The Council is currently redesigning the delivery of its Property Services.

The Council intends to start a procurement process by issuing a Contract Notice in late 2018 for a long-term (up to 8 years) strategic partnership with organisation (s) able to provide the required services from September 2019.

The Council wishes to consult with organisations with relevant experience of the delivery of similar services. The purpose of the consultation is to seek the early views of the market on potential service delivery models that best align with the Council's requirements. The consultation will assist the Council to identify preferred option(s) and help the Council in the planning and conduct of the procurement procedure.

Suitably experienced organisations are invited to download an Information Pack and accompanying short questionnaire fromhttps://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk. The completed questionnaire is to be returned to the Council via the portal by 12:00 noon on 11 June 2018.

The Council may invite organisations that return the completed questionnaire to attend a meeting with the Council in Hereford to discuss the contents of the questionnaire. The meetings are scheduled for week commencing 18th June 2018. The Council makes no guarantee that any organisation that returns a completed questionnaire will be invited to attending a meeting with the Council.

Additional information:

Please download and return the questionnaire via the Supplying the South West Portal https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk by 12:00 noon 11th June 2018. In the event of any queries please use the ProContract messaging system.

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is an indication of potential future procurement activity and is subject to change. The PIN is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process and is not a commitment to procure anything. The Council is keen to explore all options or solutions that may be currently available in the market and would like to engage with potential providers.
