Lot 1
OS required a robust user research and usability testing platform that delivered valuable insights and facilitated market research into user behaviour, preferences, and interactions. Additionally, there was a need for access to a diverse participant pool, enabling 24/7 user insight testing with rapid results. This platform provides reliable data from a cohort of individuals, including those OS would not typically have had access to, ensuring comprehensive and inclusive insights.
Options: The contract has the option to extend annually for a further two years, therefore if all extensions were taken the total length of the contract would be for four years (2+1+1).

This corrigendum is updating the contract award notice to PS600,000. This increase in total value of the contract is to reflect potential additional spend if the extension years on the contract were taken. The contract awarded is for 2 years with the option to extend annually for a further 2 years (2+1+1)."
