We are calling for volunteers from public sector organisations to support the evaluation of the new The Marketplace solution. This agreement will replace the current Tail Spend Solution.

Evaluators are a key part of the process to deliver the procurement on time. We are looking for volunteers across the Civil Service to evaluate bids that we will receive. This is an important role and counts towards corporate contribution.

We are looking to use the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the new procurement regulations. More information about the stages and evaluation dates will follow. It is likely that evaluation of the bids will take place between June 2025 and September 2025. CCS will provide full evaluator training and our team will be on hand to provide support throughout the process.

​If you or your colleagues would like to become an evaluator, please send an email to tailmanagement@crowncommercial.gov.uk and include the following details:

  • name
  • organisation name
  • job title
  • email address
  • dates of known leave between June – September
