Description

The Association of North East Councils Trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the Managed Remarketing of Vehicles and Plant for use by contracting authorities throughout the United Kingdom. The purpose of the prior information notice (PIN) is to provide advance notice to the marketplace of the tendering opportunity and intentions of NEPO to hold market consultation activities with suppliers to help shape the future Framework Agreement. NEPO are not advertising this PIN as a mechanism to reduce future procurement timescales. NEPO intends to publish a soft market testing questionnaire via the Open eTendering system. The questionnaire will be used to assess interest in the tendering opportunity and to gain information and insight from the market to help shape the future NEPO202 Framework Agreement design. The soft market testing questionnaire will be made accessible via the Open eTendering system on XX/XX/2024 with a submission deadline of 12 p.m. on XX/XX/2024. Suppliers wishing to access and complete the soft market testing questionnaire must first register on the eTendering system using the following link https://www.open-uk.org. Guidance for how to create an account search for opportunities and respond are included on Page 4 to 15 within the Supplier's Hub. If you require further support, please email [email protected]. In addition, NEPO intends to hold a group market consultation meeting. NEPO intends to hold individual Market Consultation meetings which will be advertised openly via this PIN and will take place the week commencing XX/XX/2024.

The Market Consultation sessions will be no longer than 60 minutes and NEPO intends to conduct these sessions virtually through online meeting platform applications.
