Justification for not publishing a preliminary market engagement notice
A Preliminary Market Engagement was not undertaken for this requirement. The Authority has not sought input from previous or potential suppliers in the drafting of the tender documentation either. Nor has the authority informed previous or potential suppliers of the tender opportunity. The requirement is relatively straightforward and there is an established market for these types of goods. As such, preliminary market engagement was not required.
