## Description
Contract Duration: 5 years with 2 (1+1) option years 
Contract Start Date: 1st April 2026 
Contract Value: £38M - £81M 
Description 
The Authority seeks pre selection questionnaire responses from qualified providers that have the capability to develop and provision a managed services arrangement for a new Enterprise End User Services mission partner. Through this arrangement the successful supplier(s) will be responsible for the delivery of all end user devices and services1 as well as the unified communications for a specialist user group. 
The nature of this competitive edge requires industry partners to operate as part of a collaborative joint mission  approach to maximise the effectiveness of the whole force, where technical risk is managed at the highest level. Operating in the SECRET Domain, the service will predominantly be UK based, but will operate globally. This creates opportunities for a combined problem centric approach to solving challenges at pace, experimenting with innovative solutions, as well as traditional support requirements. 
The supplier is expected to support the current estate as well as working with The Authority towards technical refresh for approximately 5,500 end users across fixed UK locations and overseas deployments. This service must be provided as part of the service specification, which will be included within the Request for Solution document that will be provided to all companies who pass the Pre- Selection Questionnaire (PSQ).   
The Contractor is further expected to provide, and work collaboratively with The Authority, and other suppliers (in accordance with the Enterprise Target Architecture): 
Act as a mission partner and managed service provider  
Support to deployed users 
Solution design and supporting artefacts 
Working in alignment with The Authority and the user group 
Procurement, testing, building and deployment of all end user devices and the relevant supporting artefacts  
Migration of existing applications and support of the applications once moved onto the new platform, including necessary interfaces with suppliers and teams where needed 
Provide L2/L3/L4 support for all elements of the service line 
Deployment and management of a unified communications solution 
The initial Contract duration is estimated to be for a period of 5 years with 2 x 1 option years 
Potential Providers are to note that in order to fulfil this requirement, the chosen supplier will be exposed to and required to safeguard nationally sensitive information/data bearing a security classification up to and including SECRET UK EYES ONLY level, therefore there is a requirement for a proportion of technical staff are required to be DV cleared.   
The Authority also requires potential providers to have Provisional Facility Security Clearance 2 status or be willing to gain FSC status to manage these security requirements throughout the entire supply chain by the RFS issue date. Potential Providers who do not meet this minimum el...
