Any information a provider shares could be used to assist drafting the final specification. We are also using the process to 'test the market' to obtain a better understanding of the level of interest from potential providers in delivering this service. Providers should note that there is no obligation to take part in this exercise and that if they do not take part it will not preclude them from any subsequent related procurement process. Engaging providers will not receive preferential treatment in any subsequent quotation or tender process, and this is in no way an indication of the selection of any organisation or a guarantee of future work.
