This PIN notice is part of the pretender engagement deemed helpful to the success of the tendering process. It is the primary stage to inform how the Environment Agency develops its approach to the market and decide the best format for the subsequent framework. It is our intention to hold an open day/workshop 18.9.2018 at Clayton Hotel, Birmingham, further details will be sent upon registration. The aim of the open day/workshop is to allow early engagement between potential suppliers and the Environment Agency to fully understand our requirements and what we expect from our suppliers. In turn this will enable you to make a better informed strategic decision when considering your approach to any subsequent tender action. The day will also provide the Environment Agency's project team a better understanding of suppliers capabilities and the market for the service we require. This PIN is not a call for competition. It is expected that an OJEU tender process will result from this exercise, with a formal OJEU notice being placed in late summer 2018. To register your interest in attending the open day/workshop please email dorothy.holding@environment-agency.gov.uk by the closing date stated in this notice.
