This procurement, classified under corporate governance rating services (CPV ID: 79212110), falls under the services category. The contract period is set for two years, with options for two additional 12-month extensions, totalling a potential four-year term, contingent upon satisfactory supplier performance.

The procurement is managed electronically via the Home Office’s eSourcing Portal (JAGGAER), and submissions must be made by 21st May 2024.
