Description

This communication is part of early engagement to support the Home Office objective of sourcing a single call-off contract, delivered by one supplier, as a single Direct Award. The Home Office is considering, without commitment, two Crown Commercial Service frameworks that may offer suitable services from a Direct Award: RM1577.13 G-Cloud 13 and RM3808 Network Services 2, Lot 1.
