Questions asked by suppliers
Supplier question | Buyer answer |

1. What is the Maximum rate for this role? | The maximum day rate has been left blank intentionally; we will assess the day rate for suppliers using the evaluation weighting we have disclosed on the requirements. |
2. Hello, does the consultant require an active SC before they start the role or will the client put them through it? Thank you | It is preferred that the candidate already has SC clearance. If not currently held, the candidate must be willing to undertake the SC clearance process. This DOS requirement made it clear that SC clearance is required therefore suppliers are required to pay and arrange for that security clearance themselves to become eligible and compliant to perform the contract. We can however arrange for special dispensation to allow suppliers to begin their contract and allow them onsite whilst the security process is underway. A caveat to this is that the suppliers contract would be terminated if SC clearance was not granted. |
3. Please can you advise what the estimated budget will be? | The maximum day rate has been left blank intentionally; we will assess the day rate for suppliers using the evaluation weighting we have disclosed on the requirements. |
4. Hello, is there a current incumbent on this role? | Yes |
