    "description": "The purpose of this notice is to continue market consultation to inform the programme design, delivery model and commercial strategy. Our market consultation objectives are to: 1. Continue to raise awareness of the potential future procurement process and to enable organisations to feed in their views and engage with each other on how a future contract could be procured and delivered. 2. Communicate the programme priorities and create opportunity for the market to comment on potential aspects of the contract. This will assist the Department in structuring the requirements to enable innovation to maximise achievement of programme objectives. 3. Consult on the commercial approach, structure and financial mechanisms that will inform how the Department scopes the requirements, and the potential procurement procedure.
