The CoLP will consider the feedback received to help inform its options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the City is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.

The CoLP would like to find out about the solutions that the market currently or potentially offer, along with the types of innovation or areas of best practice that are being developed and could meet CoLP's current requirements and/or make improvements to current ways of working and business processes.
