Conducting meaningful engagement would have introduced delays that could jeopardise the project timetable. The requirement relates to standard construction works for which the Authority considers the market to be mature and well understood. As such, preliminary engagement was not deemed necessary to inform the specification or procurement approach. The use of a two stage procurement, including a Stage 1 Request to Participate, provides an appropriate and proportionate opportunity for all interested suppliers to compete and to raise any clarifications during the early stages of the process." } }
