The questionnaire is expected to be published on the Open e-Tendering platform (www.open-uk.org (https://www.open-uk.org))on 28th July 2026 and will remain available until 11th September 2026. Suppliers will also have the opportunity to participate in one-to-one engagement sessions throughout the questionnaire period. These sessions will enable suppliers to ask questions, provide feedback and share insights to help inform the procurement strategy. One-to-one sessions will be available until shortly before the questionnaire closes. Details of how to register interest in a session will be included within the SMT documentation. Attendance is optional and does not provide suppliers with an advantage in any future related procurement. Attendance also does not constitute as an intention to tender for any future related procurement. Please note the above information may be subject to change and is indicative only. Suppliers wishing to access and complete the questionnaire must first register on the e-Tendering system using the following link (www.open-uk.org (https://www.open-uk.org)).
