Description:
***This is not a tender exercise*** Ards and North Down Borough Council is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for an Integrated Consultancy Team to explore the development of an Integrated Waste and Operations Depot. Prior to initiating the procurement, the Council wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process and to gain a clearer understanding of the capability, experience, innovation and delivery models available in the marketplace. Any information gathered through this market engagement exercise will inform internal business planning and any potential subsequent procurement process. The information provided in the completed questionnaire will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market engagement exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement (PME) questionnaire. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT documents area. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function of eTendersNI in accordance with the instructions detailed in the PME Questionnaire document. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. **PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE MESSAGING FUNCTION on eTendersNI, before 12noon on FRIDAY 15th AUGUST 2025**
