objectives for the service requirements and commercial terms in accordance with Regulation

26(4)(a)(i) to (iii).

Bidders were expected to have a major role in defining the solution which could not be specified

by the Council at the outset, as the Council was unable to assess or determine the solution without in-depth dialogue.
