Engagement process description
Market engagement for RM6394 began in January 25, with pre market engagement for customers (two sessions split for Central Government and Wider Public Sector customers, stakeholders (meetings with GPG and the Public Appointments Team). A survey was also issued to customers to complete.
As well as this, supplier engagement was also completed, there was a supplier survey issued to incumbent
suppliers and any supplier who expressed an interest in the agreement, and there were three sessions solely for supplier engagement, one supplier day open to all interested suppliers as well as two dedicated SME sessions took place. All sessions were virtual to remove logistical and financial barriers to attend.
Based on the feedback from pre market engagement, options are being proposed and there will be further market engagement to come post April 25 to test more specifics of the framework and the envisaged structure.
