Market engagement for RM6374 commenced in January 2025. The Prior Information Notice (PIN) was issued in January 2025, accompanied by a survey aimed at gauging interest and obtaining market insights from suppliers. The survey remained open until 31st March 2025, during which 93 participants engaged with it, and 48 suppliers completed it. In February 2025, we extended our engagement efforts through additional surveys directed at suppliers and customers, gathering feedback from a further 20 organisations. From March to May 2025, the first round of market engagement will take place, featuring an open and transparent retrospective analysis of the existing agreements. Following this, conceptual options will be presented to both suppliers and customers.Two supplier engagement sessions were conducted on 19th March and 1st April to collect further market insights to inform the agreement's scope.

A customer engagement session was conducted on the 28th April to collect further insights and inform the agreement's scope. This attracted 20 individual attendees.
