What the notice says

The Charity Commission is currently in Year 1 of a 3-year Digital Transformation Programme (the "Futures Programme") and invites prospective suppliers to attend a Supplier Engagement session to provide an overview of the Futures Programme as a whole, the work underway and our intended outcomes for the programme as well as a Commercial update. The contract start and end dates included in this notice cover the remaining period of the programme - actual start and end dates will be determined by individual procurement exercises.
