Planning

No Engagement Notice Rationale The Contracting Authority did not consider publication of a UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice necessary as the requirement is for the routine supply of widely available milk and bread products. The market is mature, well-established, and sufficiently competitive, and the Authority was satisfied that it had adequate knowledge of the market and its requirements to proceed directly to an Open Procedure.
