Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 17/11/2017 at 14:00

The requirement is for high quality consumer complaints data (as defined in the 'Requirements' section below) for use by consumer protection organisations. The development of the digital infrastructure required to deliver this data is an essential prerequisite, but is ultimately ancillary to the supply of high quality data. To ensure compatibility with the internal systems of the data owners, the contractor must deliver both the high quality data and all necessary data infrastructure.
