The Crown Commercial Service’s template for procuring complex digital specialists and/or outcomes includes a ‘cultural fit’ criteria, as this is considered important in the digital marketplace. The cultural fit criteria is not disaggregated across its four components.

The bid evaluation is ongoing.

No Ministers were involved in the contract process.
