two.1.4) Short description
This Contract Notice outlines the Home Office's intent to competitively assess, select and award a contract to deliver the Core Services Integrator requirement.
The Home Office has international objectives to reduce threat upstream, protect citizens at home and abroad, and secure the borders. These cross-cutting objectives include Counter Terrorism, Serious and Organised Crime, child sexual exploitation, cybercrime, illegal and organised migration and border-security.
The International Strategy and Capabilities (ISC) Unit focuses on long-term multi-year transformational projects that build close working relationships with other Governments and deliver lasting, sustainable effect overseas. This includes Government to Government (G2G) agreements delivering specialist capacity programmes and advisory services to progressively develop security capabilities in line with international human rights agreements.
The International Strategy and Capabilities (ISC) Unit sets the Home Office International Strategic Objectives and desired outcomes which are issued to a combination of managed service providers, training suppliers, delivery partners, and consultancies.
Core Services Integrator Requirement: Due to the specialist nature of this work, ISC requires an independent integrator function who is responsible for supporting the delivery of ISC activities in the key areas of Development, Integration, & Operational Assurance for Business Development Services. The consolidation and delivery of these managed services should span, but remain independent from, Frameworks and Suppliers to ensure coherent and aligned delivery of ISC's strategic objectives and growth plans. This includes (but not limited to) managing the Home Office's reputation and quality of services across all aspects of delivery and designated partners, risk identification and mitigation, performance, timely delivery and the implementation and development of the training catalogue and ISC objectives.
The duration of the contract will be up to 24 months from the date of contract, with an option for a 12-month extension.
More details of the Core Services Integrator requirement are provided in the Supplier Qualification Pack on the Core Services Integrator Opportunity Listing on the Jaggaer Portal.
The competitive procurement will be managed in accordance with the Negotiated Procedure with prior publication under DSPCR 2011.
