Overview
This is a joint tender for two separate events. We need the contact centre for the May 2016 elections to operate from 14 March until 19 April 2015.
At present, we do not know when the EU referendum will take place, but for the purpose of submitting a proposal, tenderers should use 2 June 2016 as a provisional date. For both campains, the Electoral Commission requires a contact centre to: • Respond to enquiries over the phone using an interactive voice response (IVR) system and live advisors. • Fulfil requests for printed material. The Commission’s evaluation of the responses will focus on a number of areas, particularly value for money.
