On Tuesday 12 March (10:00 - 11:30) techUK is delighted to be hosting the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) for a virtual supplier engagement session which will help to shape the new Transport Technology RM6347 framework agreement.
This agreement, which will replace RM6099, Transport Technology & Associated Services, will provide transport technology goods and services for UK central government departments and all other public sector bodies.
The new agreement will continue to cover the traditional technologies in transport, but also expand its scope to emerging mobility, sustainable transport and enablement for future developments.
The new agreement will also include new services which have been requested through supplier and buyer engagement, and potentially services amalgamated from other CCS agreements where appropriate.
CCS is also seeking to use the new Procurement Regulations to bring benefits to Suppliers and Customers.
A full agenda will be shared in due time, however, CCS is looking to gather feedback from the existing TTAS supplier base about what's working and what is not working, alongside thoughts from potentially new suppliers.
If you are unable to attend this event, CCS will be staging one-to-one engagement with Market Suppliers.
If you're interested make sure to book now to secure your place.
Please note: CCS is holding an in-person version of this on Thursday 7 March from 10:00 - 11:30. The content at both sessions will be the same as the in-person session so suppliers only need to attend one.
