Do you mind letting us know why the incumbent is handing over this piece of work? Thanks The contract will expire 2. Do you have a list of resources you require for this and how many do you foresee this would/ should be? As this will be a service contract based on deliverables, we will not be requesting specific resource. However, we appreciate a broad idea would make it easier to accurately price, and can confirm that we would expect no more than two bodies to be required. This would be at the supplier's discretion though. 3. The answer to the clarification question about the incumbent is that the contract was about to expire. The question mentioned that they are "handing over" the contract, can you confirm whether this implies that the incumbent is handing over the project with no intention of bidding? HMRC is unaware of who is bidding, and will not be aware until the requirement closes and all bids have been received. There is nothing to be implied from the requirment in terms of who may or may not be bidding. 4. The Security Clusters are a pilot project. Does your answer to the question about incumbents relate to a preceding piece of security work and how does it relate to the previous piece of work tendered in DOS Opportunity 6995? It is not a pilot project. The concept of security clustering has been approved and HMRC is in delivery mode. The previous DOS opportunity was to secure project resource to helps HMRC transition security service designs into operational services.The resources recruited through this opportunity will manage the Design Authority through which all service and organisational designs will pass for discussion/ feedback/ approval before going to the project team to manage the transition into an operational service.
