Description

To help define and develop our Procurement Strategy and support in the development of our service specification, Liverpool City Council are engaging with potential data centre service providers prior to the release of any official tender document.

The aim of this Soft Market Testing exercise is to notify the market of our future plans and to gauge interest in this opportunity with data centre providers. This will support and provide Liverpool City Council with a transparent and a compliant route to market that delivers against the key objectives of this project.

Once we have engaged with the market and understand the services available a procurement exercise will be conducted.

Please review the Soft Market Testing document and complete a brief questionnaire via ProContract.


Your company will need to register on ProContract (Due North) to be able to receive the opportunity. The documents will only be available on ProContract (available via the Due North site). Once you have registered you will need to go to the "my opportunities" section on the home page of ProContract and follow the instructions as a supplier to enable you to return your submission.

To register your organisation on Procontract click on the following link https://procontract.due-north.com/register, go to suppliers' area and click on "register free".

Closing Date for response is 2pm Friday 26th February 2021.
