No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council.Please download and complete the attached questionnaire and submit it by the due date in the system.This stage of the project allows the Council to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the options; technologies; methodologies; and/or solutions available to deliver its outcomes.
