Description

Midland Heart is carrying out a Request for Information (RFI) to gain an understanding and appreciation of what the market can provide in terms of Legal Services. The information from this exercise will be used to review Midland Heart's current service provision and finalize our Invitation to Tender documents. The RFI document outlines a number of key questions Midland Heart would like to obtain feedback on from the market during our Meet the Buyer event.

Midland Heart understands that a single partner may not be able to support ALL components of Legal Services and welcomes specialists to respond, based on their area of expertise.
The RFI is issued solely for the purpose of conducting market engagement and does not constitute any commitment by Midland Heart to undertake any procurement exercise in the future. This exercise includes no element of supplier evaluation. No parties will be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to this questionnaire, there is no commitment of any kind involved on either side.
This RFI does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services and Midland Heart is not bound by any proposal offered. Midland Heart is also not liable for any costs, fees or expenses incurred by any party in its response to this soft market testing questionnaire.
