Changes to notice

This notice has been edited. The previous version is still available.

Following recent communications, I have spoken with colleagues who manage the EU Supply system. It appears that the market engagement invitation was inadvertently distributed more widely than intended.

To clarify, this communication was only meant for suppliers currently on MCF3 Lot 3 of the CCS Framework.

We sincerely apologise for any confusion caused. We will keep you informed of any future developments, particularly if we decide to pursue an alternative procurement route.

Many thanks for your understanding.
