What Is a Planned Procurement Notice?
An optional early notice signalling a buyer's intention to run a procurement, broadly the successor to the prior information notice (PIN).
Why do buyers publish a planned procurement notice?
To give the market early warning of an upcoming procurement, so suppliers can prepare, and, if published in good time, to allow a shorter tender period later.
Is a planned procurement notice binding?
No. The buyer is not required to go ahead with the procurement.
Why should suppliers watch for these notices?
They show what buyers plan to buy months in advance, giving time to prepare, find partners or take part in market engagement.
