Work has been broken down into six lots

The four-year deal will replace the CCS’s previous project management and full design team services framework, which has been extended by six months until November due to the pandemic.

Firms from multiple disciplines will be appointed to each lot, which are worth between £75m and £577.5m respectively.

According to the contract notice, all firms looking to secure a place on the deal must have Cyber Essentials accreditation – a certification designed to provide a statement of the basic controls an organisation should have in place to mitigate the risk from common cyber threats.
