"description": "Any future procurement related to this PIN will be managed electronically via the Authority's e-Sourcing portal (JAGGAER). If you have not yet registered on the e-Sourcing Portal before, this can be done online at https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com by following the link 'To register click here'. Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering, who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so. Once you have registered on the e-Sourcing Portal, a registered user can express an interest for a specific procurement. Your email must clearly state: the name and reference you wish to register for; the name of the registered supplier; and the name and contact details for the registered individual sending the email. The email will be processed and then the buyer will enable the supplier to access the procurement online via the e-Sourcing Portal. The registered user will receive a notification email to alert them once this has been done. If a formal tender notice is published, this publication may be used as initial prior notice.",
