Description
IPSA is the independent body that regulates and administers the funding and decides the pay and pensions of the 650 MPs and their staff.
IPSA would like to put in place a contract to provide high-quality reliable broadband services across the United Kingdom to MPs' constituency offices and IPSA-funded living accommodation.
The contract should allow for the one stop shop for the MP to provision broadband services through a broadband broker/provider and associated services.
We would like to centralise billing removing the burden from MPs entirely and reducing the work of IPSA's finance team by processing a single itemised bill each month.
