Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market questionnaire. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents. of CfT 6702133. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 3pm on the closing date detailed. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise.
