PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT (PME) NOTIFICATION - THE TENDER DOCUMENTATION IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. However, interest (Expressions of interest) can be registered here (if not already completed), and please refer to the UK2: Preliminary market engagement notice for further details on the Engagement process undertaken (see 'https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018973-2025', although please note that the Engagement period has now passed, but the Expression of interest window is being kept open for any NEW Expressions of interest to be captured). PLEASE ACCESS THE MESSAGES AREA/SECTION ON THE ACTIVITY DASHBOARD (ONCE AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST HAS BEEN COMPLETED) FOR ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT. Note: In case of any further queries/questions on this PME/Opportunity, these MUST be received via the Messaging facility on this eProcurement Portal only (as also stated below). Also, If you are unable to complete an Expression of interest, this is likely to be due to this having already been completed/registered (an individual contact/Workgroup cannot complete more than once). Please check your Activities area in this case instead (or otherwise contact Proactis Supplier Support for any other system related help or questions). ESPO has been conducting a scoping exercise with the intention of establishing a multi-supplier framework with national coverage for the supply of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and other liquified gas fuels, in both bulk and cylinder form. The duration of the framework agreement is expected to be for 24 months, with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period. Suppliers should note that this is a preliminary market engagement exercise (and NOT a competitive tender process at this stage). The participation of a supplier in this preliminary market engagement will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and ESPO. It is anticipated that Suppliers taking part in the preliminary market engagement will not be put at an unfair advantage when bidding for this framework. A supplier's participation, or lack of participation, shall not impact the ability of the supplier to participate in any resulting tender exercise. Suppliers should note that any interest indicated does not constitute a commitment to participate in any future tendering exercise. Note: for any questions relating to the operation of the Portal itself, ProContract, these should be submitted to Proactis, and the following links (URL's) can be used for this for supplier support and system technical queries: https://www.proactis.com/uk/support-login/ or via https://suppliersupport.proactisservicedesk.com/.
