This engagement was conducted in a proportionate manner, targeted at a broad range of relevant suppliers using existing market knowledge and open engagement channels. A preliminary market engagement notice was not published, as the Council considered that the approach taken provided sufficient market insight without restricting competition or creating barriers to entry. The engagement did not provide any supplier with an unfair advantage, and all information that may influence the procurement process has been made available to all bidders as part of the procurement documentation. The Council is satisfied that the procurement has been conducted in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner."
