The Authority does not require market feedback to shape or refine the specification, and the procurement is not expected to generate significant uncertainty or risk that would benefit from early engagement. The market for these specialist commercial advisory services is small, mature and well-established, and the Authority has sufficient knowledge of capable providers to proceed directly to publication of the Contract Notice. The decision not to conduct preliminary engagement will not distort competition or disadvantage any potential bidders. All interested suppliers will have equal access to the tender documents and full opportunity to participate through the open procedure"
