Accordingly, if you have any questions, require clarification of any aspect of the procurement documents, or identify any ambiguities, inconsistencies or concerns, please submit your queries through the Forum before the Questions Closing Date. Responses will be managed through the procurement process and, where appropriate, shared with all tenderers to ensure equal access to information.
