The RFI must be downloaded from the Delta tendering portal. This notice and associated documentation is not a call for competition.
The Proposed Banding Structure:
Details of the proposed banding structure can be found in Appendix 2. Please download from the Delta tendering portal.
Response required from providers:
We invite you to review the attached banding structure (Appendix 2) and respond to the questions provided in Appendix 1. Please download from the Delta tendering portal.
Important notes:
This RFI document is for the sole purpose of consulting the market and therefore the Council does not require providers to submit tenders / bids at this stage. Any information provided will be treated in confidence.
