This Framework will be a recurring Framework, the maximum duration of any Call-Off Contract that may be placed by an eligible Contracting Body is 24 months (with an optional extension for up to a further 6 months).
This Digital Outcomes and Specialists 3 procurement will be responded to via the Digital Marketplace (accessed here: https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk) and details of how to register are included in the ITT. Suppliers must register on the Digital Marketplace, and full instructions on how to register are included in the ITT.

Digital specialists suppliers provide government departments and teams with specialists for work on a service, programme or project. The work you do has a defined scope and deliverables.
