    "description": "The contract is for three years from development and delivery within three months of contract award to full operation.

Economic operators that wish to attend the event can register by competing the event registration form on Bravo and submitting the form via the Bravo ITT message function by 14:00 on Tuesday 14th December 2021. A maximum of 2 delegates per Economic operator. Please give the full details of delegates who will be attending. The Supplier Briefing Event will be recorded and uploaded to Bravo along with a copy of the slides after the event. Any questions asked on the call will be documented and answered in the official written Q&A log and also shared after the event via Bravo.
