Planning
| No Engagement Notice Rationale | Justification for not publishing a preliminary market engagement notice. A preliminary market engagement notice was not published due to the specification of the requirement being already established and clear. Therefore, it was felt that no additional input from suppliers in the market to help with developing the requirement and approach to the procurement was required prior to publication of the tender notice. The supplier base is already known within the market and relatively static. |
