As part of the procurement process, the Commissioner will be holding a bidder event on the 14th November in Bristol. The purpose of this event is to present to potential bidders on the requirements of the service and the procurement process, as well as to provide a networking opportunity for potential bidders, partners or subcontractors for the future service.
A draft service specification is provided as an attachment for information only.
Interested providers will be able to view the bidder event opportunity via the 'current tenders' list on the e-procurement system In-Tend, accessible via the following link: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home
