In designing a contract where biodiversity requirements are to be built in, early market engagement is important to identify the capacity of the market to deliver these. It is good practice to notify suppliers early in the process of particular conditions of the contract so that they can take an early view on whether they can satisfy the contract performance requirements.
This can be done by including details in the contract notice. These can be included at section V1.3 Additional Information of the Contract Notice.
See the Annex for examples.
