    "description": "On the 20 October 21 the Authority issued a notice of cancellation for the DPQQ for both the Torso Sub-System (TSS) lot and Head Sub-System (HSS) lot for VIRTUS. Since this date, the Authority has been developing both the project and competition and we are now happy to be able to provide a short update. The Authority estimates that a new Contract Notice will be published in April 2023, launching a competition with an initial DPQQ followed by an ITN issue estimated in July 2023. Note. Dates are subject to change as the project continues to develop and as the team manage the wider portfolio workload and departmental priorities. The concept as this stage is for the ITN to be designed around two lots: the Torso Sub-System (TSS) being Specification based i.e. built to print, and the Head Sub-System (HSS) based on a Requirements set. The Project Team will be conducting further market engagement at DVD, UTAC Millbrook, from the 21-22 September 2022 and invites all bidder enquiries for a meeting. Arrangements are to be directed to Rodney Gardiner. Note. There will be limited availability for appointments, but post event meetings will be made available. Should you have any queries regarding the content of this letter, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for all your work to date on Project VIRTUS.",
