This is a pre-market engagement document and is not a tender document. The outcome expected of this market engagement is to guide the Council's future procurement for these works, and for potential providers to put forward their interest, should this proceed to a tender stage in future.
It is intended that providers can submit comments about these documents which potentially could be used to assist us should this progress to a tendering stage.
