Background to Agile IT Services framework
UKRI are looking to put a framework in place which will enable the rapid, agile resourcing of specialist IT services to meet agreed outcomes and deliverables while providing a time and materials payment structure.
The intention of the framework is to allow buyers to outline a statement of work and the associated required resourcing services to deliver the work.
For the avoidance of doubt, this framework does not include contingent labour.
The setup of this framework will be whereby services of different types may be called-off at short notice against rate-card rates.
This procurement framework will run over 4 years. The value of this framework will be £9.5m excluding VAT over the term of the four years.
Demand over the duration of the framework agreement is difficult to predict, however an approximate 30+ temporary services are consistently in use across Business Systems and Innovation (BS&I) and Business Change to meet demand. This number increases / decreases based on project pipeline demand.
Services can be provided from outside of the United Kingdom however these must be provided in UK hours and with English language speakers.
All Services will be expected to comply with Customer IT Acceptable Usage, Cyber Security, Corporate Compliance policies, GDPR policies and relevant DBS Baseline Checks.
Services are to be validated as capable of the Service Type descriptions by the Framework Supplier. Liability for performance and professional indemnity sits with the Framework Supplier.
The structure of this framework will be over 9 different lots and suppliers are welcome to submit tenders for any of these lots. The framework value of £9.5m excluding VAT will be spread over the 9 different lots.
The lots are broken down as follows:-
Lot 1: Digital, Data and Technology capability
Lot 2: User Centred Design
Lot 3: Senior Data Roles
Lot 4: Salesforce
Lot 5: Workday
Lot 6: Developer
Lot 7: Solutions
Lot 8: Porfolio and Programmes
Lot 9: Functions
Each lot on the framework will be capped at 5 suppliers and will be evaluated based on a combination of price and quality elements. Please note that in the event of a tie for the 5th and 6th placed suppliers having the same score for both quality and price combined the bidder who scores the highest on quality criteria will be awarded 5th place. Upon identification of a need all suppliers will be approached to provide a bid submission on each Lot for each call-off requirement.
UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) will be using the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal for this procurement.
