"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) has not published a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice for this procurement. This is because no preliminary market engagement activity was undertaken for the Library Linking Tool requirement. The procurement strategy was developed based on a clear understanding of the market, established requirements, and prior experience with similar procurements. As such, there was no necessity to engage the market in advance of the tender process. This approach is fully compliant with the relevant procurement regulations, which do not require the publication of a preliminary market engagement notice where no such engagement has taken place. The procurement has therefore proceeded directly to the publication of this Tender Notice."
