## Description
The Authority has a developing requirement for a new framework to procure platform and innovation services. The intent of the framework is to provide a choice of Platforms that will meet the requirement of new and emerging use cases seeking to develop modelling and simulation applications. 
The Framework shall have an initial duration of 24 Months with an Option to extend for a further 12 Months. All Call Off Contracts may have a maximum duration of 5 Years.  
The Framework has an anticipated Contract Award date of June/July 2023.  
The competition shall follow the DSPCR 2011 competitive Negotiated procedure and shall consist of 2 LOTS. 
Potential bidders are invited to register their interest in receiving an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to join the framework by first completing the associated Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.  
Suppliers may bid for one or both Lots and all bidders that meet the minimum criteria as outlined in the DPQQ shall be invited to participate in the ITN phase of the competition.   
The Authority cannot guarantee any quantity of work being put through the framework, but the framework may have an overall total limit of liability (for both LOTs) of up to a maximum of £100M for the initial 2-year duration. The Authority intends to conduct further mini-competitions where it is obvious that more than one platform could fulfil the use case platform requirement.  
The Authority may introduce further LOTS throughout the duration of the Framework. 
The Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is Moderate (Reference – RAR-220061707).
