The 1-2-1 sessions will take place over teams with the agenda to be confirmed. A response to the RFI is not a prerequisite to being able to participate in the 1-2-1's, however it would be helpful to the Authority to have RFI responses if you have not completed one yet.

In your email, please provide a primary point of contact as well as information on your companies capabilities and relevant experience of delivering similar capabilities.

As a reminder of the early market engagement completed to date:
An Industry Engagement Day for the Core Applications and Management Service (CAMS) RFI was held on 28 January 2026 via Microsoft Teams.
