Additional information
The purpose of this PIN is to provide advance notice to the market place of NEPO’s intentions to potentially hold virtual one to one supplier meetings with interested organisations in the Cleaning and Hygiene Sector to help shape the future of this Framework Agreement. This market approach will be discussed further with the Solution’s Steering Group Members.
One to one supplier meetings if conducted would be done so via Microsoft Teams or other secure meeting Platforms and will be limited to a particular number of suppliers. Those wishing to register their interest must do so in writing to Denise Corrigan (denise.corrigan@durham.gov.uk) by no later than 7th May 2021 at 12 Noon.
One to One meetings with interested suppliers would be strictly limited to a maximum of 30 minutes per session and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
It is stated that involvement in any One to One supplier meeting would be optional and would not provide a supplier an advantage in any manner nor would it constitute a supplier’s intention to tender.
NEPO have already issued a Soft Market Consultation Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”) which has been made accessible via the NEPO eTenderportal. Suppliers wishing to access and complete the Questionnaire must first register on the Portal (unless already registered) using the following link
The Questionnaire will allow a further opportunity for those suppliers unable to attend a one to one supplier meeting to contribute towards shaping the renewal of the NEPO417 Janitorial and Facilities Supplies Framework. The submission date for completed Soft Market Testing Questionnaires is Tuesday 4th May 2021 at 12 Noon.
NEPO will be also exploring the option of a National Lot and the potential to expand the Janitorial Solution nationally for wider accessibility for Public-Sector Organisations.
The results from the Questionnaire and interest from the Market will all help towards shaping the future of the renewal of this Solution.
