Project Aims and Objectives

• A specialist provider of data protection services, including the provision of the Data Protection Officer and liaising with the Information Commissioner's Office on the Trusts behalf when required.
• A supplier that will work with GLT on a supportive approach to educate the staff within the Trust on refining and improving processes and procedures to enhance their knowledge on Data Protection and the potential implications of not acting with caution.
• An enhancement to the Trust current data protection position and offer to support the mitigation of risks to the organisation, providing reassurance to the Board of Trustees.

The maximum contract duration will be three (3) years. The initial term of the Contract shall be for a period of 3 years with an option of one 2-year extension, making a maximum contract duration of five (5) years including extensions, and in line with performance management/success in the delivery of the required outputs.
