Tender description

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the framework agreement approach has been adopted in order to leverage efficiencies and maximise cost savings over the duration of the framework. There are five elements as outlined below and the successful Tenderer must be capable of providing all five elements. Furthermore, comprehensive details of requirements will be provided at stage 2 of the process. 1. Migration of data from our existing Sugar CRM to Dynamics 2.
