The contract length is likely to be 3 years with the option to potentially extend for up to 2 years subject to satisfactory review. Estimated value for this service is circa PS2m per annum. The service will be commissioned via an open procurement process advertised to all providers which is proportionate to the value and complexity of the service and contract. Interested providers are guided to MLCSU eProcurement portal Bravo to register their interest, to do that, candidates need to register on the portal at https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. If your organisation has registered previously, you do not need to re-register.
