Short description

The objective of this RFI is to gather information solely to support a future procurement process. It will not influence vendor makeup or outcomes for any vendor in that future procurement process. E.g. There will be no shortlisting of vendors to result in an award and contract as a result of this RFI.
The purpose of this RFI is to allow CHI to engage with the market in relation to its procurement strategy (No’s 1, 3 and 4 only) and its proposed procurement approach for these items. CHI would like to invite commentary from the market on the approach and also to assess the ability and suitability of the market to deliver all three bundles in a single lot contract. Should there be sufficient support and competition in the market for all of the lots listed, CHI will consider a single procurement which incorporates them. This concept is described as Lot 5
