NEPO408 Lift, Escalator and Related Equipment Maintenance, Refurbishment and Repair - Market Consult...

<p>Compliant route to market for the award of lift, escalator and related equipment, maintenance, repair and refurbishment contracts. It is the intention of NEPO to hold market consultation meetings with suppliers to help shape the future framework agreement. Market consultation meetings are to take place across 26th February 2021 and 1st-2nd March 2021. Suppliers wishing to register attendance must do so in writing to Fiona Jamieson (Fiona.Jamieson@nepo.org) by no later than 12 p.m. on 25th February 2021. There will be one market consultation event held on 26th February 2021. There will be an opportunity for individual 20 minute follow up sessions to be held over 1st and 2nd March 2021. NEPO intend to conduct these sessions virtually through online meeting platform applications to ensure the safety of those wishing to attend, taking into account potential social distancing measures, and current government guidance. NEPO anticipates these virtual meeting sessions will take place on Microsoft teams or other secure meeting platforms. The time and location of each appointment will be confirmed via email following registration. Places will be secured on a first come first serve basis.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Attendance at the market consultation is optional and does not provide suppliers with an advantage in any future related procurement. Attendance also does not constitute as an intention to tender for any future related procurement.</p>
<p>In addition to the market consultation meetings, NEPO also intends to publish a soft market testing questionnaire via the NEPO eTendering portal. The questionnaire will allow a further opportunity for those suppliers unable to attend the market consultation meetings to contribute towards shaping the future NEPO408 framework agreement design. The soft market testing questionnaire will be made accessible via the NEPO eTender portal.</p>
