• Explore the current UK market and award a new contract for a term of three years between 1st November 2022 and 31st October 2025.

• Establish a long term, contract support arrangement which provides Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel/Resources to work alongside the Agency, associated UK data providers and Charter bodies, as the UK's representative on the Charter Executive Secretariat.

• Build additional continuity within the existing contract format, by setting a requirement for there to be more than one strategic engagement lead, to cover should the prime become unavailable for any reason.
