Suitably qualified and experienced suppliers who may have an interest in this project are invited to complete the questionnaire that is available to registered suppliers via the Delta e-tendering system, for this Preliminary Market Engagement. The high level requirements are detailed within the online questionnaire. The purpose of the market engagement is to help assess the reaction of the market, to understand risks and future possibilities to ensure a future proofed procurement strategy and resulting contract. Please note that lengthy questionnaire responses are not necessary at this stage.

Interested parties shall bear their own costs of participation in this Market Engagement of whatever nature.
