2) to understand the level of interest and experience of the marketplace indelivering part or all of such an integrated requirement;
3) to help ISED develop a procurement and implementation strategyfor acquiring and implementing such an integrated requirement either as one national contract or separate, individual contracts;
4) to develop planning and cost estimates (if possible).
