No issues were identified that required early supplier input, and the procurement route, specification, and budget were already confirmed by the Health Board. Undertaking PME would not have provided additional value or altered the scope or approach. A fully open and competitive tender process will ensure transparency, equal treatment, and adequate opportunity for all suppliers to participate."
