WRC is undertaking a pre-procurement market engagement (RFI) to assist us to finalise the procurement strategy and tender documentation. The purpose of this RFI is to:

+ Outline how the market engagement process is to be conducted
+ Provide draft NBC information to potential suppliers
+ Offer potential suppliers an opportunity to provide feedback on the RFI pack or meet with WRC ahead of the issue of the tender documents.

The pre-procurement engagement is a precursor to, and not part of, the formal competitive procurement process, which commences with the request for proposals, anticipated in March 2026.
