Prospective suppliers are invited to submit their Expressions of Interest showing that they can satisfy the above Selection Criteria in the form of a statement not exceeding 500 words.

Suppliers who have submitted an EoI with supporting statement will be advised whether they have been down selected to be invited to tender or otherwise. The Invitation to Tender will be issued to down selected suppliers on or around 30 November 2022. Any supplier that submits an EoI without a supporting statement will be deemed non-compliant and any tender proposals submitted as part of an EoI with or without supporting statement will not be evaluated.
