• To provide the market with early sight of the Authority's requirements;
• To seek market feedback in order to: help refine the requirements;

• To understand the possible risks involved;
• To shape the commercial approach accordingly.

The Contract will be placed using the standard "Short Form Agreement". It is intended to place this by the end of 2020 however this may be achieved earlier and hence the start date may be earlier than that referred to in the Notice.
