"description": "The value provided in Section II.1.7 is only an estimate. We cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this Commercial Agreement. As part of this contract award notice the following can be accessed at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b76ed67-8eb2-4132-81a0-f747d86fea1c 1) Redacted Commercial Agreement 2) List of Successful Suppliers 3) Approved Customer list 4) Transparency Agenda On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders were required to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders were required to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement. CCS reserved the right to award a framework to any bidder whose final score was within 1% of the last position. For Lot 4, 42 suppliers were awarded a place as opposed to the number of 40 places as was originally stated in the Contract Notice that was published on 19/02/2024.",
