This prior information notice (PIN) is to instigate a soft market testing exercise and does not constitute a call for competition to procure any goods, services or works for the Thanet District Council (TDC) and the Council is not bound to accept any proposals offered. Thanet District Council is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to help it determine whether there are suitable indemnity partners for the compulsory acquisition of Manston Airport and subsequent investment in the Airport's development. Thanet District Council does not own or operate the site, which is owned by a third party. The Airport closed and ceased operation as an Airport on 15.5.2014. Ahead of closure the Council has been working to understand viability of both regeneration and sustainability of continuance of the site operating as an airport. Following a compulsory acquisition of the site it is expected that any identified indemnity partner would make significant investment with a minimum 20 year business plan to deliver a viable and sustainable airport operation. Under planning powers the Council could apply for a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) however, if successful in this application, the council would incur significant costs which must be met by the identification of suitably qualified indemnity partner, to underwrite and meet all costs incurred by the Council, should it pursue a CPO course of action. It is imperative that the Council ascertains information as to availability of experienced and interested indemnity partners to support any CPO action to ensure it is a feasible course and delivers requirements, ensuring the public interest is met. Therefore, this process must provide external perspectives, ideas and advice on scope of operation and challenge, to enable the council to better understand and assess relevant market interest and capability of supporting this course of action. It is anticipated that this initial soft market testing exercise will inform a final outcome report produced by the council and external aviation experts and will cover four key areas of enquiry: — Assessing capability of the market place to deliver the requirements; — Assessing whether there is an established market to deliver and an adequate number of operators; — Assessing the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements; — Assessing the feasibility and cost viability of any proposed action going forward. The soft market testing process will be conducted in three phases: 1st Phase: Registration of interest by providing contact and organisational details direct via email to: Procurement@thanet.gov.uk Deadline for registering: 20.8.2014 2nd Phase: Following registration further information will be provided, which will include a number of structured questions posed to operators in the market to ascertain interest, capacity and capability within the market. Deadline for submission of an online questionnaire: 1.9.2014. 3rd Phase: This phase may involve some face to face sessions with operators. The arrangements for the delivery of this phase are currently under discussion and will be dependent on the number of operators that respond to the structured questions in the 2nd phase. If this phase is progressed it is anticipated this will be undertaken mid september 2014.
