Historically this requirement has yielded limited, if any, responses from the marketplace other than the current incumbent. Therefore, it is not anticipated that a bid would be received should a competitive tendering exercise be administered. The cost of preparatory work would need to be included in costings of any new contractor, even if one was available to undertake this work as officials have tested the market by issuing a speculative notice with no interest. Speculative notices to test the marketplace were issued in August 2021 (two interested parties one being MBARC) and Spring 2022 (only one interested party – MBARC). From previous tendering exercises and more recent market engagement we are aware that there is a very limited market for this requirement.
