The requirement was tendered as a single lot under the Procurement Act 2023, using a competitive flexible procedure comprising the following stages:

Stage 1: Participation & Tender

Stage 2: Demonstrations & Best and Final Offer (BAFO)

Stage 3: Contract Award

The contracting authority confirms that it has completed Conflict of Interest assessments in accordance with Sections 81-83 of the Procurement Act 2023, which require contracting authorities to identify, review and mitigate actual, potential, and perceived conflicts of interest throughout a covered procurement. The authority further confirms that it will continue to review, update and complete Conflict of Interest assessments at all required points in line with its ongoing obligations under Section 83 of the Act.

This process ensures that any actual, potential or perceived conflicts are identified, recorded and appropriately mitigated to safeguard the integrity of the procurement and to ensure fair and impartial decision making throughout the contract lifecycle.

During the tender process, the supplier that was ultimately successful informed the contracting authority that they would need to rely on a specialist subcontractor to meet the technical ability condition of participation relating specifically to data migration. The supplier confirmed that engagement of a specialist migration partner would be required to ensure that the data migration element of the contract could be delivered to the required standard.

While the supplier confirmed that a subcontractor would be engaged to deliver the necessary data migration capability, the specific subcontractor had not yet been selected at the time of tender submission or contract award. This approach remained compliant with Section 22 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits suppliers to rely on the capacity and ability of third parties where appropriate, provided the contracting authority is satisfied through its assessment.

The contracting authority confirmed that each potential subcontractor option could meet the technical condition of participation, and that reliance on a specialist migration partner was appropriate and proportionate given the nature of the requirement.

During the contract award stage the supplier has confirmed that they will subcontract the data migration to Blue Skies Associates Limited, PPON PVGH-5733-NHJR.

The contract covers the implementation of the RMS solution including data migration, followed by licensing, support, and maintenance for six years from system go-live, with options to extend for up to two additional periods of 24 months each.

The following milestones have been set:

Milestone 1 Unconfigured NicheRMS db shared

Milestone 2 Initial system Training completed

Milestone 3 Delivery of configured Software and User Acceptance Testing Completed

Milestone 4 Acceptance of Configured Software

Milestone 5 Go-live of the Software

Milestone 6 Completion of 45 days clear running after Go-Live with no P1 or P2 outstanding as faults defined in SLA

In accordance with Section 52 of the Procurement Act 2023, the contracting authority has identified three Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are material to the performance of this contract. These KPIs will be monitored throughout the contract lifecycle and reviewed at each scheduled contract review meeting.

KPI 1 System Availability

KPI 2 Resolution Time for Priority 1 Incidents

KPI 3 Contract Management

These KPIs have been selected as the most material measures of supplier performance for this contract and support compliance with the transparency requirements of the Procurement Act 2023.

The value of the contract over the implementation period and the initial 6 years is: £3,428,536.00 plus VAT. Assuming annual increases of around 3% the total including extensions is likely to be in the range of £4.9m to £5m plus VAT.
