"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "The procurement market engagement was undertaken prior to PA2023 and as such a preliminary market engagement notice was not used. Supply Chain Co-ordination Limited (SCCL) on behalf of The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advertised the opportunity as a Prior Information Notice on 30 Jan 2025 PIN ref- FTS 003079-2025. SCCL undertook market engagement for this contract and the contract procurement was moved UKHSA directly in May 2025. A decision was taken not to redo market engagement and to publish a Planned Procurement Notice (PPN) on 04/11/2025 to notify the market of the future opportunity."
