- No preliminary market engagement: No preliminary market engagement was undertaken for this procurement. The requirement is for a well-established and commonly available gully cleansing service, and the Authority has sufficient knowledge of the market from previous procurements and existing operational experience. It was therefore considered that preliminary engagement would not add value to the procurement process.
