Engagement process description

Suppliers are required to register and complete the relevant stages on the Central Digital Platform if they wish to participate in or bid for this framework.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Engagement is being undertaken via a Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire hosted on the EastMidsTenders eProcurement Portal (www.eastmidstenders.org). The deadline for responding to the RFI is 17:00 (5pm) on 28 August 2026.

Suppliers wishing to participate in the engagement process must first express an interest as follows:

(a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for opportunity 628_27 (via "View Opportunities" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest.

Suppliers can then access the RFI questionnaire in the 'Messages' section via the 'Activity' dashboard once an expression of interest has been registered. Responses to the RFI as well as any questions or clarifications should be submitted to ESPO as a message on the eProcurement Portal.

ESPO may contact suppliers to seek clarification or understanding of the information provided in their RFI response or to discuss their RFI responses in further detail. A second RFI may also be issued if required.
