(c) the unique identifier for the procurement,

(d) the contract subject-matter,

(e) the estimated value of the contract,

(f) how tenders may be submitted and the date by when they must be submitted,

(g) whether the notice is being used to invite tenders for a special regime contract and, if so, whether that contract is a defence and security contract or a light touch contract,

(h) whether the contracting authority considers that the contract or any lot forming part of the contract may be particularly suitable to be awarded—
