Tech UK is delighted to host an update to the market on the Crossing the Border project from the Home Office in collaboration with Crown Commercial Service. The event will provide an update on the commercial and procurement strategy as well as be an opportunity to engage with the commercial project team to ask questions.
The event will be open to Technology Services 3 - Lot 4 Framework suppliers and the wider market to provide an opportunity for suppliers not on the relevant part of the framework to explore opportunities to collaborate in support of the project.
This event is focussed on the commercial activities ahead of a formal launch. There is unlikely to be a significant technical representation but any questions that cannot be answered on the day will be taken away and responded to where possible.
Agenda:
- Welcome & Intros
- Home Office background & context
- Commercial Update
-
- Framework & Lots
-
- Approach
-
- Timetable
- Q&A
