Description
The market for this requirement is already established due to the original tender, which was launched in March, closed without award due to significant changes in both the specification and the available budget. These changes were made by the outcome of the original tender and were necessary to ensure a successful outcome in the re-tendering process. UKRI have taken the lessons learnt from the unsuccessful tender and used this to form the Invitation to Tender.
