This includes services that are both in scope and out of scope of the ASF. It involves a two-stage process; the first stage is concerned with setting up the FPS.

Bidders can apply to join the FPS at any point during its lifetime. Following promotion to the FPS the Authority will invite admitted participants (hereafter referred to as Suppliers) within the relevant Lots and Zones on the FPS to bid for specific Adoption Support Services Contracts.
