Prior Information Notice - The appointment of an IT service provider(s) to deliver the University of Manchester’s Phased Sourcing strategy.
Descriptions
Background The University of Manchester has recently announced a new IT Services “Phased Sourcing” strategy, under which the University intends to increasingly fulfil new IT requirements using solutions supplied by third parties and delivered “as a service”, rather than building and running solutions in house. The University has recently reviewed its existing IT estate and has defined an IT Strategic Plan intended to replace and modernise systems to ensure that the University’s IT services remain in step with the anticipated needs of students and staff. Execution of the IT strategic plan will require an estimated investment of between £50m and £150m spend over the coming three to five years. Objective The University is now looking to adopt a new IT delivery model, whereby it will contract with a third party IT provider (or potentially more than one provider) capable of delivering the bulk of the anticipated IT Strategic Plan over the years ahead. The selected IT provider(s) will be engaged on the basis of a University of Manchester specific framework agreement. Under this model, the intention is that the University would always retain the right to select other providers for specific technical requirements or in the event that the chosen IT provider(s) does not provide a compelling commercial or service delivery capability. The model is intended to provide the following benefits to the University: - Ready access to the levels of specialist skills and resources needed to deliver the anticipated level of new IT services in the years ahead - Greater integration between new IT services - A simplified approach to the integration of new services with existing University infrastructure - Greater value for money through leveraging the University’s buying power - Access to industry leading best practice and innovation - Greater levels of certainty that new projects and services will be delivered on time, to budget and to agreed service levels
