Description
The University of Exeter is conducting pre-market engagement to inform the development of its forthcoming procurement for the provision of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Wholesale supplies. The purpose of this engagement is to obtain feedback from the market on the proposed scope of the requirement, procurement approach, contract structure, evaluation methodology and any other considerations that may help shape the tender documentation. Interested suppliers are invited to participate by submitting: -A completed Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire; and -A brief company presentation or pitch outlining your organisation, the products and services you offer, relevant experience, innovations, and any value-added services that could support the University's requirements. Responses should be submitted via the e-tendering portal by Monday 30th November 2026. The University will review responses on a rolling basis throughout the pre-market engagement period and may contact suppliers before the closing date to seek clarification, request additional information or arrange follow-up discussions where appropriate. As responses are reviewed, the University may invite suppliers to attend individual meetings, either virtually via Microsoft Teams or in person at the University of Exeter, to discuss their feedback and proposals in more detail. Invitations will be issued throughout the pre-market engagement period, and meeting dates and times will be agreed directly with the relevant suppliers. Participation in this PME is voluntary and does not constitute a call for competition. The information gathered will be used solely to help inform the University's procurement strategy and tender documentation. Participation will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process, and the University reserves the right to amend its procurement strategy or decide not to proceed with the procurement following completion of this engagement exercise.
