a) Test market appetite and capability to deliver the services:
• As individual services (travel management or expense management solution); and
• As a combined bundle under a single integrated contract;
b) Understand supplier interest in participating in one or more of the proposed lots.
Important Information:
• This pre-market engagement does not form part of any formal procurement or competition.
• Any responses provided will be treated as confidential, used for information-gathering purposes only, and will not be assessed or scored.
