Due to the COVID19 pandemic there were a number of delays leading up to us publishing the procurement and our ability to prepare the documentation. CCS engagement with suppliers evidenced that they faced business disruption, including disruption of resources. There was a risk that due to COVID-19 the market would not be settled enough to participate in a tender exercise for a long-term agreement that requires suppliers to develop, prepare and issue a tender response when staff numbers have been reduced, increasing the risk of the OJEU result providing poor quality responses or a reduced number of bidders. Our ability to engage customers who were able to act as evaluators was reduced due to the pandemic. We have started to see some movement on customer re-engagement in June/July and have been able to identify evaluators. In addition to the above CCS"
