Prior to the award of any call-off contract suppliers must maintain their certified Common Assessment Standard accreditation.
In the event that there is a challenge to the Competition and such a challenge is confined to any one particular lot/sub-lot, the Authority reserves the right to the extent that it is lawful to do so, to conclude a Framework Contract with the successful Suppliers in respect of the Lot(s) that has (have) not been so challenged.

The scheme defines a set of controls which, when properly implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet.
Any potential bidders entering into a procurement with the MPS should ensure this is in place as whilst successful bidders may be awarded a contract, they will be unable to enter into any call off contracts with MPS until they are able to demonstrate that they meet the technical requirements prescribed by the Cyber Essentials Scheme for services under and in connection with this procurement.
