Procedure

Procedure type

Open procedure

Justification for not publishing a preliminary market engagement notice

No additional preliminary market engagement has been undertaken for this Procurement. Tai Tarian has an established understanding of the relevant market for asbestos services, supported by its previous and ongoing contractual arrangements for similar services and by the availability of a mature and competitive supplier market.

The requirements of this Framework are well understood, clearly specified, and based on established industry standards and regulatory requirements. Tai Tarian has therefore determined that undertaking further supplier specific preliminary market engagement was not necessary or proportionate for the purposes of designing this Procurement or preparing the tender documentation.

This approach is considered consistent with section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023 and does not disadvantage or distort competition, as all suppliers are provided with the same information and opportunity to participate through the Open Procedure.
