Planning Information
BHC undertook some high level pre-market engagement activity in relation to the project between June 2024 and 28 February 2025, to identify potential suppliers that may be able to supply the solution and services required. 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. Interested suppliers will not be advantaged or prejudiced by participation or non-participation in the pre-market engagement. All information shared as part of the pre-market engagement will be made available to interested suppliers as part of the forthcoming competitive tender process.
