From 2 April 2014 the Government introduced its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.
