The contracting authority has sufficient knowledge of the market from previous procurements and existing contracts, and the scope does not involve innovation, complex solutions, or significant uncertainty that would necessitate pre-market consultation. Conducting market engagement was therefore not considered proportionate or necessary, and open competition through the tender process is deemed sufficient to ensure value for money and fair access to the market."
