The soft market testing questionnaire will be made accessible via the Open eTendering system on 18/04/2024 with a submission deadline of 12 p.m. on 02/05/2024. Suppliers wishing to access and complete the soft market testing questionnaire must first register on the eTendering system using the following link https://www.open-uk.org.

The Market Consultation session will be no longer than 60 minutes and NEPO intends to conduct this session virtually through Microsoft Teams.
