## Description
The Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP’s) existing contact centre is the largest across all UK government departments and is one of the largest contact centres in Europe, with more than 33,000 advisors (c.17,000 concurrent) in circa 200 locations and handling approximately 90 million calls per annum.

The market engagement activity will consist of an initial webinar session hosted by DWP alongside issuing various Request for Information (RFI) documents to gather specific insights on key solution areas and options.
