Introduction
Issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for IT Managed Services is a critical step for any barristers’ chambers looking to secure the right long-term technology partner. The stakes are high — your chosen provider must not only keep systems running smoothly, but also align with the latest April 2024 Bar Council cybersecurity recommendations, protect highly confidential case data, and support the independent working practices of self-employed members.
