McCloud Administration RPSS and Practitioner RSS

The purpose of this market engagement is to refine our requirements and the procurement approach for delivery of this complex portion of McCloud-related work.

Suppliers are invited to attend a presentation delivered by the NHS Pensions team. This will be followed by individual 1-2-1 discussions. The relevant dates have not yet been finalised, however, the intention is to complete this engagement exercise prior to Easter.

Presentation:

This virtual presentation will be run via Microsoft Teams and will last up to 60 minutes in duration. It will cover the requirements, progress to date and specific areas where clarification may be useful from the market. This is scheduled to take place on Friday 27th March at 11:00. To register for this event, please contact the Commercial Services Team (Pensions) at the following email address: [email protected].
