*PRE-MARKET ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE* NORTHERN IRELAND ASSEMBLY - SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION SERVICES

Description

*This is not a tender exercise*The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission (the Assembly Commission) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Sign Language Interpretation Services. Prior to initiating the procurement, the Assembly Commission wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process. At this stage, any information gathered through this market consultation exercise may inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any provider participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any provider at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. An awareness session will be held on 20th August 2024. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT Documents. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. **PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE MESSAGING FUNCTION on eTendersNI, BEFORE 3PM ON FRIDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER 2024** *This is not a tender exercise*The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission (the Assembly Commission) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Sign Language Interpretation Services.
