"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "Pre-market engagement was not undertaken for the recommissioning of the Mosque Engagement Programme due to the highly specialist nature of the contract. Delivery of the service requires an organisation with established, trusted, and long-standing relationships with Mosques in the borough, alongside a deep understanding of local community dynamics and sensitivities. Such connections are not widely held across the provider market, and the pool of organisations able to meet these requirements is therefore extremely limited. As a result, most potential providers would either be unable to demonstrate the necessary credibility or would be unlikely to bid. In these circumstances, the proportionality of resource investment in conducting pre-market engagement could not be justified, as it would not have generated meaningful competition or additional market insight. Instead, commissioning activity has focused on ensuring continuity of provision, alignment with statutory duties, and safeguarding"
