We anticipate the call for competition commencing February 2026.\nEarly Market Engagement invitations will be restricted to Suppliers who have been offered a conditional place on Lot 5 of CCS TS4.\nThe Invitation to Tender (ITT) will be restricted to Suppliers who have been confirmed as accepted onto Lot 5 of CCS TS4.",
