Justification for not publishing a preliminary market engagement notice
A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice was not published as the authority has sufficient knowledge of the market from previous, similar procurements and the requirements are clearly defined. Early market engagement was therefore not considered necessary or proportionate, and the decision does not impact transparency, fairness, or competition.
