That pre-market engagement involved high level conversations and limited product demonstrations with a number of suppliers in the market to identify potential options, potentially interested suppliers and inform BHC's procurement approach. This pre-market engagement did not constitute a call for competition. BHC will shortly be commencing a competitive tender process through Find a Tender.
