The Authority is seeking market insight on potential technical solutions, delivery approaches, indicative costs and timescales, commercial models, key risks, dependencies and opportunities. This engagement is for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or commitment to undertake a future procurement. This preliminary market engagement exercise seeks to understand market interest in working with TfWM on this project, gather insights into possible market solutions, help support TfWM develop its requirements, and support the design of a suitable procurement approach. Please note, any information provided as part of this market engagement exercise is for information only and will not be evaluated or form part of any tender process. Participation is voluntary and will not be used to limit competition in any way.
