Although Digital Outcomes and Specialists services won’t be available on the Digital Marketplace until next week, we’re sharing 2 more pieces of draft guidance so that buyers can start to prepare.
Guidance on early market engagement
To help you understand your requirements, you can speak to suppliers before you start the buying process. This is called early market engagement. Our Early market engagement guide includes:
- why it can be useful
- when you should do it

- an overview of what the law says you can and can’t do
