** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** As part of this contract notice the following documents can be accessed at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f36d63c3-0dc9-4ea5-b76f-c99c8 1) Contract notice transparency information; 2) Contract notice authorised customer list; 3) Rights reserved for CCS framework. On 2.4.2014 Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders must be able to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement for all Lots. Cyber Essentials Plus may be required by some Customers at call off stage and this will apply to all Lots. Some purchases under this framework Agreement may have requirements that can be met under this Framework Agreement but the purchase of which may be exempt from the Procurement Regulations (as defined in Attachment 1 - About the framework within the invitation to tender documentation). In such cases, Call-offs from this Framework will be unregulated purchases for the purposes of the Procurement Regulations, and the buyers may, at their discretion, modify the terms of the Framework and any Call-off Contracts to reflect that buyer's specific needs. Central Government decided that a reduction from the initial 4 lot structure to a refined 3 lot structure would be preferable. The existing structure is as below: Lot 1: Executive Search - Grade 6, SCS1 & SCS2 (and equivalents) Lot 2: Executive Search - SCS2 (and equivalents) Lot 3: Executive Search - SCS3 & SCS4 (and equivalents) Lot 4: Non-Executive and Public Appointments The new structure is as follows: Lot 1: Executive Search - Grade 6, SCS1 & SCS2 (and equivalents) Lot 2: Executive Search - SCS3 & SCS4 (and equivalents) Lot 3: Non-Executive and Public Appointments The rationale behind this decision is that there is not a sufficient difference between SCS1 and SCS2 recruitment principles to warrant a standalone lot for SCS2. PLEASE NOTE: All certificates issued prior to 1 April 2020 or before 30 June 2020 on the existing scheme are valid until 30 June 2021. This includes those issued by Accreditation Bodies other than IASME. On 30 June 2021, any certificate issued under the old scheme will expire.
