- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
This Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is issued in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 to notify the market of Arc Poperty Services Partnership's(the Client) intention to engage with interested organisations regarding a proposed framework for the provision of temporary agency workers.
The framework is anticipated to be established by the Client and made available for use by:
- Arc Property Services Partnership Limited;
- VIA East Midlands Limited; and
- SCAPE Group Limited and its group companies.
The purpose of the engagement is to obtain market feedback and better understand current market capability, delivery models, contractual arrangements and commercial practices before commencing a formal procurement process.
Participation in this engagement exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process.
The Client regularly requires the provision of temporary workers to support operational and professional service requirements across a diverse range of disciplines.
The anticipated framework may be used to source temporary personnel across a broad range of roles, including but not limited to:
- Administrative and business support staff;
- Professional and technical personnel;
- Construction and built environment professionals;
- Project and programme management roles;
- Engineering and surveying disciplines; and
- Other specialist temporary resource requirements.
Health and social care professionals are not within the scope of this proposed framework and will not form part of any subsequent procurement process.
The contracting authorities are exploring the establishment of a single-supplier framework arrangement that will provide an efficient, compliant and flexible route for the engagement of temporary agency workers.
