Applicants are advised that BHC has appointed certain independent professional services firms to act on its behalf in relation to this procurement process, as named in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Given these parties' prior involvement in the preparation for and/or during the procurement process, none of these parties may be part of an Applicant's team or advisors in relation to this procurement process.
