Notice Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) are seeking a Microsoft Certified Partner with the capability and capacity to build an intranet on SharePoint Online to deliver a new and improved branded corporate organisation-wide Intranet for approximately 2500 internal users for both organisations.
