- Suitability
The requirements of the contract will be for the successful supplier to provide professional services to Police Scotland on an as and when required basis and the successful supplier will be called on for support / advice when a requirement arises. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority seeks bids from suppliers that are equipped to provide and willing to undertake work in this manner.
CONTRACT OBJECTIVES/SCOPE
