In this article, the authors develop the geometric part of prequantisation for 2-plectic manifolds. Specifically, if \(M\) is a manifold with with an integral closed 3-form \(\omega\), they construct a \(PU(H)\)-bundle and a Lie groupoid over its total space, together with a curving in the sense of gerbes. In addition, if \(\omega\) is non-degenerate, the authors give a natural Lie 2-algebra quasi-isomorphism from the observables of \((M,\omega)\) to the weak symmetries of the above geometric structure, This result generalises the prequantisation map of Kostant and Souriau.
