Publisher note: The Council will select a number of organisations from those applying to participate in dialogue. Participation (or non-participation) will confer no advantage or disadvantage should the Authority commence a formal procurement process at some future date. It is anticipated that a procurement exercise may commence in early spring 2024 to ensure supplier contract/s are in place and implemented by Autumn 2024. The value of any future procurement is likely to be over the threshold value for services.
