Planning and budget

No Engagement Notice Rationale
A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice was not published because the market engagement undertaken was limited and informal in nature. The engagement was undertaken with a small number of specialist suppliers to inform UKRI's understanding of the market, manufacturing capability and capacity, and to help inform the procurement strategy and specification. No supplier was given information or an opportunity to participate in the procurement that was not made available to all potential bidders through the subsequent tender documentation.
