As part of the market engagement potential providers may be invited to attend 1:1 sessions if the Contracting Authority feels this will be necessary. Only providers that have completed the RFI may be offered any 1:1 sessions should they be arranged. Please note that this exercise is not part of any pre-qualification process.
