Description

UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) on behalf of Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA), wishes to establish a sole supplier Contract for Arbitration Referral and Management Services.

The contract is intended to be for a duration of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 1 year and then again for a further 1 year (2+1+1).

Ahead of commencing this procurement, we would like to raise awareness of this project by way of a Prior Information Notice (PIN) so we can introduce our plans and ensure that this requirement is well placed when it hits the market in the near future. There are contact details contained within this notice and we welcome supplier feedback at this early stage to ensure all foreseen requirements are appropriately captured. We welcome feedback as to whether a single supplier can provide all mandatory and optional requirements as detailed within the Prior Information Notice document attached to this notice or whether these need to be tendered as separate work streams.

This PIN is being issued in order to undertake a market consultation exercise with regard to the current view of requirements detailed below. If you believe that this will be of interest to you and your organisation, please register your interest by sending an email to fmprocurement@uksbs.co.uk.

By registering and attending you will be engaging in non-competitive dialogue which will enable the PCA to develop and assess the market's appetite, concerns, and views on formulation of its requirements. The PCA may consider the information and responses received as part of the preliminary market consultation. This will help to inform the specification and further decision making in relation to the planning and conduct of the procurement ensuring all valid options are considered.

Not registering an interest will not prevent any supplier participating in a future procurement. Nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the preliminary market consultation will place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.

Please refer to the Prior Information Notice document attached to this notice for full details.
