What is being bought

Published requirement description

The requirement is for a professional, web-based alumni platform to create and facilitate a one-stop shop providing a managed alumni service for the Combined Maritime Forces.

  • No preliminary market engagement: In this instance, a preliminary market engagement notice was not published because the need for this requirement was confirmed within the last few months. Therefore, issuing an advance notice so close to the release of this Tender notice would not have been beneficial. Additionally, the contracting authority has sufficient knowledge of the market and potential suppliers based on previous similar requirements and market research.
