For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council's are not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in this event will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this market engagement will be reimbursed by the Councils.",
