Description
The Isle of Wight Council (the Authority) is engaging with Potential Suppliers to seek views and feedback by responding to the information provided and the questionnaire. This is intended to be used to assist the Authority on deciding the next steps for the procurement of an Identity Management Solution for the Isle of Wight Council.
Please note that this is not an invitation to tender, it is strictly a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire. The Authority is unclear at present on its preferred route to market or the procurement process that may be utilised. The purpose of the Market
Engagement Questionnaire is to:
• Help inform and determine our procurement strategy and approach
• Assist in the scoping of the requirement.
• Identify any innovative ideas
• Identify options available
• Understand budget requirement
There are a number of questions within the Market Engagement Questionnaire for you to answer but it is not compulsory to answer all of them. We are happy to receive any feedback you wish to offer. Responses to the Market Engagement Questionnaire imply no commitment on Suppliers to engage in any subsequent procurement process, nor do they confer any advantaged status or guarantee of inclusion in any subsequent procurement process for Suppliers who do respond.
The Authority reserves the right to withdraw this Market Engagement Questionnaire at any time and is not liable for any costs incurred as a result of Suppliers engaging with this process. Potential Suppliers are asked to answer the questions set out in the questionnaire. This can be found on the Council's eTendering Portal ProContact. The link to the eTendering portal is
https://procontract.due-north.com/ and the reference number is DN656007. Please log in (or register if you do not have a log in) and the questionnaire will be available to download.
Please upload your completed questionnaire to the portal by 06th March 2023, 14.00Hrs.
Please leave sufficient time to do this, as uploading times can vary depending on the file size. Documents must be uploaded in an Open Document format, and all attachments will ideally be Zipped in to one file. (Tip: Use PDF documents where possible to reduce file sizes). Organisations can upload / amend their response via the ProContract e-Tendering Portal at any time prior to the submission deadline. The response is secure and only visible to the organisation up until the closing deadline date / time at which point the system is locked to the organisation and contents become visible to the Council.
PLEASE REMEMBER: This is not an Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise. The Authority is intending to initiate a procurement process for the provision of an Identity Management Solution in the future, but this pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire is a call for information only. The Council will consider the the responses received and then consider its options. Contract type could be services/any combination/hybrid goods/systems.
