two.1.4) Short description
The Bank of England (“the Bank”) wishes to procure the services of a Supplier (the “Strategic Partner”) to deliver an integrated information management and collaboration Solution and Service for the Upgrade Bank of England Programme This procurement process will follow the competitive dialogue procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Bank requires a Strategic Partner to deliver and support the Upgrade BoE Programme’s objectives. This will involve transformational change across the Bank, re-imagining how information is created, collected, secured, stored, searched, shared (internally and externally), archived and destroyed. This will not only require the replacement of legacy systems with a new Solution, but also significant transformation to business processes and the deployment of tools that support these processes. The Upgrade BoE Programme seeks to introduce new ways of working, embed cultural change and deploy industry best practices to drive user adoption across the Bank, as well as providing tools and services to support remote and flexible working.
The Bank is seeking to appoint a dynamic and proactive Strategic Partner, with significant experience of managing complex solution delivery (design, build, migrate, test) and systems integration programmes leading to the delivery of transformative business change, to support its vision for modernising and simplifying how it collaborates both internally and externally.
All interested Tenderers will need to register as a supplier on the Proactis portal which can be accessed at https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Registration/Register.
