Please note that due to time and resource constraints, it may not be possible for NWF to meet with all interested suppliers. In the event that the level of supplier interest in our market engagement activities exceeds our capacity to accommodate individual meetings, we reserve the right to schedule meetings on a first come, first served basis or with a representative sample of those who have submitted requests. NWF takes the view that this will constitute a fair mechanism to ensure that a range of suppliers within the market are represented (e.g., by similar solutions or responses). To ensure transparency and equal treatment, all relevant information shared by NWF with suppliers during these meetings will also be made available to the wider market at a later date. Please note that participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage or preference in relation to any future procurement process Further information will be able to be found in the documents in Atamis. Please be advised that the estimated value of this requirement or timelines cannot be derived until the completion of the Early Market Engagement activities. 5) Interested organisations should note that the procurement strategy and timetable have not been finalised at this stage. NWF will collate and analyse the responses received to decide on its final requirements and tender documents. Responses may be used to develop and scope the procurement strategy and process. NWF will make a final decision on the procurement strategy, timetable, and content of the procurement documentation, having considered feedback, although NWF it not obliged to incorporate any of the feedback received into the ultimate process/documentation. This market engagement exercise does not constitute a commitment to undertake any procurement activity. NWF expects to award one contract for the services but reserves the right to divide the scope into lots / service areas for bidding purposes and/or carve out some elements of the service scope and procure these separately or to pursue in-house solutions. 6) To access, please register on Atamis, available on the following link: https://atamis-3929.my.site.com/s/Welcome and send an email to Procurement@nationalwealthfund.org.uk to be included and once the early market engagement activity begins, we will add you to the event to view the documentation.
