Notice Description

***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** The final date and time for the submission of bids was Monday, 20th April 2020 at 11:00am.

For example, one possible output is a set of demand curves for incorporation. This contract was awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the Mini Competition Document. This has been sourced via the CCS Research Market Place DPS-RM6018.
