The framework
will be awarded for a 36 month period with a potential extension of 12 months.
The deadline for
receipt of tenders is 1000h on Thursday 16 April 2020.
UPDATE: "NEUPC is sympathetic to the disruption caused
by migration to home working in observance of coronavirus containment measures. The deadline for tenders to be submitted has
been put back by 14 days, and is now 30th April 2020."
Speaking to Inavate, Mark Hayter
from NEUPC said "The awarded integrators will be organised in to regional ‘lots’, which are each split in
to large contract and small contract providers. In this way, we hope to attract the interest of small
sized enterprises, perhaps with a penchant for less complex integrations, or that are comfortable operating within a particular geographic area."
