  "description": "The Authority shall not be liable for any costs incurred by those potential bidders (including third party, costs, fees or expenses) expressing an interest in or tendering for this contract opportunity. Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to contract award is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential bidders. No implied contracts are created.\nThe Authority reserves the right not to award any contracts as described in this notice, postpone or terminate the tendering exercise (or any part of it) at any time without liability on its part.\nThe value of the contracts stated above is an estimate only and no guarantees or commitments are given by the Authority in relation to the volume or value of the services that will be instructed under the contracts, which may fluctuate from time to time (including depending on the level of use of the services by the Authority and other Central Government Bodies).\nAny contracts will be awarded by the Minister for the Cabinet Office, however bidders should be aware that the services can be used by any of the bodies identified below (and their successors), and the contracts will be entered into for the benefit of the Minister of the Cabinet Office and for the benefit of all such bodies that use the services from time to time:\nAll Ministerial Government Departments;\nNon Ministerial Government Departments;\nExecutive Agencies of government and other subsidiary bodies;\nCivil service bodies, including public sector buying organisations;\nAll non-Crown Status Government Companies wholly or partly owned by Central Government Departments and their subsidiaries;\nThe non-Departmental Public Bodies, other Public Bodies, Public Corporations and their subsidiary bodies sponsored by Central Government Departments which are not covered by the above categories;\nAll new bodies created which fall within the criteria set out above;\nThose listed and maintained by the Government on their website at https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations or any replacement or updated web-link; and\nThose listed and maintained by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) as being part of Central Government at https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/uksectoraccounts/datasets/publicsectorclassificationguide or any replacement or updated web-link.\nOn 2.4.2014 Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement.\nThis link provides information on the GSC at:\nhttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications\nThe Supplier is required to submit prior to the Contract Award date all the due certificates, statements and other means of proof requested in the ITT.\nCyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders must be able to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement.\nRefer to https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/cyber-essentials-faqs for more information.\nRegistering for access:\nThis procurement will be managed electronically via the eSourcing suite. This will be the route for sharing all information and communicating with bidders. If you have recently registered on the eSourcing suite for another CCS procurement you can use the same account for this new procurement. If not, you will first need to register your organisation on the portal.\nUse the following link for information on how register and use the eSourcing tool: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/esourcing-tool-guidance-for-suppliers\nFor assistance please contact the eSourcing Help desk operated by email at eEnablement@crowncommercial.gov.uk or call 0345 410 2222.\nTenderers should be aware that while the title of this procurement is \"Learning Frameworks 2.0\", this Procurement Process does not relate to the procurement or award of a \"framework agreement\" (within the meaning of the PCR 2015). This Procurement Process relates to the award of \"public service contracts\" (within the meaning of PCR 2015) in respect of each Lot.",
