It is important to note that this PIN / RFI is not a call for competition, a pre-qualification questionnaire, part of any pre-qualification / selection process or a current tender opportunity. Potential service providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a Contract Notice (or equivalent) is published.
