The tender opportunity is being advertised in OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union), the SEBP (South East Business Portal - Hampshire 'site') and on HCC InTend.

The contract will take the form of a Framework Contract that will be awarded in geographic 'lots'.  Suppliers who wish to express an interest in the contract should download a copy of the PQQ (pre-qualification questionnaire) from the InTend website.  Responses to the PQQ must be uploaded to the InTend website by 18th April.  Shortlisted suppliers will receive an ITT (Invitation to Tender) on 16th May.  Contract start date is anticipated as 1st August 2011.

Please note that authorities across the South East Region advertise tendering opportunities, generally over a certain threshold and below the EU procurement thresholds, in the South East Business Portal.  It is free to register for Suppliers and this registration enables suppliers to receive e-mail alerts regarding opportunities, and to express an interest in the opportunity. There are 74 councils and 9 fire and rescue services in the region.
