Other Information

Therefore, you will need to sign a mutual NDA and we will provide the information for this activity via the email address: dgc.E_Commercial.Systems.Project.Team@defra.gov.uk. to register your interest now. Please also note that the deadline for responses to the RFI is 2nd April 2024 @ 12:00 BST, and we therefore advise interested suppliers to make contact as soon as possible in order to access this. Looking for April Dates for the demonstrations so please provide dates on email. We reserve the right on who we invite to demo their product, due to the nature of this activity we will be inviting only a small number of suppliers. Should your organisation not be selected, this should not be interpreted as the Authority not being interested in your product, nor will it prejudice our impartiality in any future procurement activity. We would like to remind suppliers that we are still devising our procurement strategy, and at present many aspects are still to be confirmed. This includes our route to market. Therefore, a response to this RFI does not guarantee you a place in any future competition, for example, if a framework route to market is selected and your organisation is not available via this framework. The Contracting Authority may, without prejudice, use feedback from the responses and demos to help inform the development of the potential requirement. Any system demonstration is to help the Contracting Authority gather information about the type of systems available. Mutual NDA for Defra PAN NEC CMS 2024 Mutual NDA for Defra PAN NEC CMS 2024.doc
