The purpose of the engagement is to support early market shaping and to better understand supplier capability, delivery models, commercial considerations, and the most effective way to structure the future opportunity.\nThe engagement will be carried out through a co-design approach, tailored to a professional services market audience. TfW is particularly interested in hearing from professional suppliers who can contribute to shaping a future procurement approach that is practical, proportionate, and attractive to the market. The engagement will help TfW test assumptions, identify any market constraints or opportunities, and develop a route to market that supports effective competition and good-quality outcomes.\nThe session is intended for professional services organisations with relevant expertise and experience. It is not a procurement event, but a market engagement exercise designed to inform TfW’s future strategy and commercial approach.\n**The dates and locations of the events for the North or South Wales events are below, due to capacity please only select one venue for your attendance by completing this Microsoft Form Market Engagement questionnaire.
