    Premarket engagement will be used to help CITB understand the market capability available for AI-enabled products and assessment development solutions before finalising the specification and procurement approach. Interested suppliers are invited to present information, advice and guidance on more…applicable and appropriate products, services, delivery models, implementation considerations and consultancy support that could help CITB develop a robust requirement. Suppliers will also be asked to draft 10 multiple choice questions as specified in Appendix A. These questions will be reviewed by CITB to assess the effectiveness of the proposed supplier approach, it is not a tender evaluation exercise and will not be used to award a contract. CITB will use the information gathered to support development of a clear specification for procurement of a defined set of products and services.
