Preliminary Market Engagement
The Council did not conduct preliminary market engagement for this Contract.  
The Council notes that final approval of the specification required a longer period than originally anticipated, which in turn reduced the timeframe available to initiate the procurement. In view of the time-sensitive nature of the requirement, and in order to ensure continuity of supply and adherence to operational deadlines, the Council determined that it was not practicable to undertake preliminary market engagement and that it was necessary to proceed directly to tender.
