Soft Market Testing (CF) - Communication channels for advertising to City Workers

Descriptions

The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out Pre-procurement market engagement ('PPME') in relation to Communication channels for advertising to City workers.The City has regularly carried out surveys with its stakeholder audiences to determine the level of knowledge of the organisation, its role and services and satisfaction with its activities. This is due to the fact that the City Corporation, while providing many services often associated with a local authority, is not a local authority and indeed its work goes far beyond to encompass support and promotion of City, London and UK business as a whole and a range of other services for the benefit of the country.The aim is to ensure the organisation is better understood by City workers. The purpose of this market engagement is to understand which external communication channels exist that can reach this audience in a timely and cost-effective manner. The City will consider the feedback received to help inform its options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the City is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the City.
