RFI responses were used to develop sustainability opportunities and were also used to develop the risk and issues log. * 03/09/2025 the revised draft Specification (with the exclusion of Lot 8) was accompanied by a Product List was issued via the surgical mailbox to 84 recipients. Additional questions were asked on Supplier approaches to 3rd Party Audits to follow on from information provide in the RFI response. * 26/09/2025 a further and final Supplier Day was hosted at Nottingham before publication of the tender.
