The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process.

To access the PPME documentation please visit [in-tendhost.co.uk](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home) and follow the on-screen guidance. To participate in this PPME, organisations must submit their completed Supplier Questionnaire, together with any supporting documents, through the In-Tend system by the return deadline stated in the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system. Supplier Questionnaires cannot be uploaded after the closing date/time.
