The DHSC is issuing this early engagement to seek information and feedback from the market to gain better understanding of the intelligence, costing model and appetite for this project.

This market engagement process does not form part of the formal procurement process. When and if the formal procurement process commences any supplier may join the competition and all supplier bids will be evaluated on the same basis.
