Informal consultations were carried out during the project planning stage to assess supplier capability, service delivery approaches, and indicative costs. It was determined that a further formal preliminary market engagement would not add produce new insights. Proceeding directly to tender was therefore considered a proportionate and efficient approach that maintains both transparency and value for money."
