The Authority does not intend to make a contract award on the basis of initial tenders.\nThe Authority may, in line with the provisions of section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023, exercise its right to refine award criteria as the procurement progresses. The Authority does not consider that the contracts could be appropriately awarded by reference to lots due to the nature and complexity of the contract requirements.\nThe Authority has carried out preliminary market engagement in relation to this procurement."
