Engagement process description. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement is to understand the market's capability, capacity and readiness to meet the Council's indicative requirements. This exercise is for information-gathering only and does not form part of a competitive procurement process. Participation will not give a supplier any advantage in a future procurement, and non-participation will not prevent a supplier from taking part in any subsequent opportunity. Interested suppliers will be invited to respond to a short set of market-engagement questions covering their ability to supply and support the existing Afinion AS100 and Afinion 2 equipment; availability of authorised consumables and quality-control materials; maintenance, technical support and training arrangements; delivery capacity; indicative lead times and pricing; and any minimum order or contractual requirements. The questions are available in the Market Engagement section below. Completed responses should be be submitted through Delta, our electronic tender portal www.delta-esourcing.com by the engagement deadline stated above. Responses will be used to assess market capacity and inform the Council's options and any future procurement approach; they will not constitute a tender or create any commitment to procure. Suppliers must demonstrate their capability to supply and support the existing Afinion AS100 and Afinion 2 devices, and provide evidence that any future supplied devices and consumables comply with applicable UK medical-device legislation, including relevant conformity marking and MHRA registration requirements.",
