Carrying out pre-procurement market engagement (‘PPME’) is to gain a better understanding from the market and its ability to meet the needs of the City of London Corporation, its departments and entities, such as, but not limited the City of London Police with regard to its future HR, payroll and finance solution.

The City will consider 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 futureprocurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at anadvantage in a potential procurement process.

Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME willbe reimbursed by the City.
