The engagement will also help inform the proposed scope of the framework, potential lotting arrangements, procurement approach, contract structure and key performance requirements. DC and DFRS are seeking feedback from suitably experienced suppliers to help ensure that the proposed framework is commercially viable, reflects current market capabilities and provides value for money.
