Note: the Expression of interest window is being kept open to allow for NEW Expressions of interest to continue to be captured (Expressions of interest only need to be completed once per applicable contact/Workgroup, as once completed please access your ‘Activities’ in this eProcurement Portal instead). PLEASE ACCESS THE MESSAGES SECTION ON THE ACTIVITY DASHBOARD (ONCE AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST HAS BEEN COMPLETED) FOR ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT - the Request for Information (RFI) Questionnaire will remain accessible FOR REFERENCE ONLY in the Public Messages, with the return deadline having passed (11 July 2025).
