Publisher note: The contract is for three years from development and delivery within three months of contract award to full operation. After the three-year development contract the RDDT requires a support service contract to continue for the remaining product life cycle. Therefore, this requirement needs to be Open Source, so any replacement contract can be openly and fairly tendered. To support Economic operators, there is an opportunity to attend a 'Supplier Briefing Event' on Wednesday 15th December remotely via a Microsoft Teams Meeting. Economic operators that wish to attend the event can register by competing the event registration form on Bravo and submitting the form via the Bravo ITT message function by 14:00 on Tuesday 14th December 2021. A maximum of 2 delegates per Economic operator. Please give the full details of delegates who will be attending. The Supplier Briefing Event will be recorded and uploaded to Bravo along with a copy of the slides after the event. Any questions asked on the call will be documented and answered in the official written Q&A log and also shared after the event via Bravo. Note the Contracting Authority intends to use the eTendering system Bravoi n this procurement. You will need to register your company on Bravo (this is only required once).
