Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) - Vehicle Recovery & Roadside Assistance Services

This UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is issued by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on behalf of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), the contracting authority, to notify the market of its intention to undertake preliminary market engagement in relation to a forthcoming procurement for Vehicle Recovery and Roadside Assistance Services.

The MPS currently intends to conduct the future procurement under the Procurement Act 2023 using the competitive flexible procedure.

The PME will be hosted through the MPS eTendering platform, Coupa. Suppliers wishing to receive PME-specific communications, updates and clarification responses should register and tag to the PME opportunity in Coupa by the stated PME deadline. Suppliers may submit clarification questions through Coupa by the stated questions deadline. The MPS does not guarantee a response to all questions.

Failure to participate in this PME, or failure to register / tag to the PME in Coupa by the PME deadline, will not automatically exclude a supplier from participating in any future tender opportunity. Any future tender opportunity will be advertised separately through the relevant tender notice and procurement...
