We are now only a month away from releasing our tender for the new Vertical Application Solutions agreement which will replace Data and Application Solutions (DAS). It will offer a range of sector-specific software solutions for the public sector: from local authority customers to police and emergency services, education, community health and social care.

This presents an opportunity for the public sector to help evaluate the bids from software suppliers. Getting involved will give your organisation the chance to shape the award of the framework to ensure it meets your needs, while evaluators can use the experience to earn continuing professional development (CPD) credits.

Evaluators for this procurement would benefit from having experience in using the DAS agreement or a background in procurement or contract management for technology-based solutions for their sector.

We’d love for you to be involved, so if you’re interested in becoming an evaluator, please register your interest by emailing us at technologysolutions@crowncommercial.gov.uk, clearly stating ‘RM6259 evaluator’ in the email subject and one of our team will be in touch.
