There will be no further publication on Find a Tender in relation to this opportunity as the procurement will be run through the qualification system, and references to a \"Contract Notice\" should be read as referring to an advert on UVDB (subject to the query below on dates) and not a Find a Tender contract notice. Expressions of interest to NESO are requested for information purposes only and a failure to express interest will not prevent someone who is properly registered on UVDB from participating by responding to the opportunity that is advertised through that qualification system. While the notice provides a contact point at Achilles, it is the sole responsibility of each interested supplier to ensure that it is properly registered on UVDB on time and NESO accepts no responsibility for any failure to register on time regardless of the reasons for that. Please ensure you are registered on the Achilles UVDB against the codes detailed below by close of play Friday 5th April 2024 * 2.6.29.0 Personnel/Human Resources Services * 2.6.29.1 Payroll Administration"
