## Description
Longhurst Group is developing a tender for an IT augmented resource contract to enable additional resource to be provided reactively and in response to business needs.
This resource capability needs to be highly specialised to reflect the Longhurst technology landscape to be able to deliver or contribute to the delivery of new IT systems or changes to IT systems.
To assist this work, we would like to engage with representatives from interested organisations to seek and gather views regarding the specification and procurement approach.
This will take place through interested organisations completing a Early Market Engagement Questionnaire. Information gathered from this early engagement will inform the procurement approach and service specification. The questionnaire can be accessed by this link https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=67319328-eca0-ef11-8132-005056b64545
Responses to the soft market testing questionnaire are due by 19 December 2024 at 12.00.
