Planning Information
A small developmental order was placed for less than £125,000 following a small competitive competition to test the cable lengths, connections on a fit, form, and function basis to help inform the technical scope of this procurement. It should be noted that incumbent suppliers are aware of non-exclusivity and the technical specification does allow for all equivalent parts and cable.

Scoring shall be a mix of pass/fail, discretionary pass / fail, and geared score elements which may include minimum pass score where indicated.
