How to win it services: consulting, software development, internet and support tenders

Open tenders score Cyber Essentials Plus/ISO 27001 as gates, then differentiate on named delivery teams, agile delivery evidence (GDS service-standard experience for central government) and exit/knowledge-transfer commitments — public buyers are wary of lock-in and reward bids that make leaving easy.
