• High level information on suppliers’ existing and potential FVD service offerings including accessories.

• Supplier overview of product roadmap and capabilities for up to the next seven years.

• Supplier views on trends in the wider FVD market.

The outcome will inform ESMCP decisions on strategy and any new procurement activities. Any such decisions will be made solely at the Authority’s discretion.
