The Authority did not publish a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice in relation to the engagement. The reason for this is, there is a limited market and the Authority considers that competition under this Procurement will not be distorted because the training required is a structured product which should prevent any perceived advantage. It should be noted that if a supplier can offer an equivalent training programme in line with the specific requirements of Connect 5, this will be considered ensuring no barriers are identified."
