The successful contractor’s performance on this contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 — contract management — procedures and principles). Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a notice of unsatisfactory performance and this contract may be terminated. A central register of such notices for supplies and services contracts will be maintained and published on the CPD website. Any contractor in receipt of a notice of unsatisfactory performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of 3 years from the date of issue of the notice. It may also result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy.

1) The Typhoon Delivery Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to Airbus Defence and Space Ltd (Newport) who designed and implemented the Local Key Management System (LKMS). The extant contract for support to this system is soon due to expire, therefore there is a requirement for a follow-on support contract to be placed;
2) It is considered that for technical reasons this requirement can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of the Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011). This is because only Airbus Defence and Space Ltd has the requisite knowledge of the LKMS that is required to be interoperable with the Typhoon aircraft, as well as F-35 and P8-A air platforms which also utilise the system. There is currently no other suppliers that have the specific know-how at their disposal to provide the required technical support to the LKMS;
3) The intended contract will have a 12 month duration with an option to extend for one further 12 month period.

The Scottish Ministers have created Social Security Scotland, a new executive agency to administer devolved social security benefits.
This contract is specifically focused on the iterative development of the OutSystems technology solution that will support Social Security Scotland to administer the devolved social security benefits.
In September 2018, the Scottish Ministers established Social Security Scotland, a new Executive Agency of the Scottish Government. Social Security Scotland’s primary responsibility is the administration of devolved social security benefits for people in Scotland. The Scotland Act 2016 gave the Scottish Parliament the powers to administer devolved benefits and the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 provides for types of assistance that will be created using those powers.
In order for Social Security Scotland to deliver this service, there is a requirement to build a technical solution to support the administration of the devolved benefits. The Scottish Government’s Social Security Directorate procured a technology platform to support Social Security Scotland to administer Scottish citizens applications for welfare benefits. The technology platform is also capable of being configured to support other future associated services and integrate with existing Social Security Scotland IT systems.
The key objective of this procurement exercise is to identify a partner to configure the technology platform to meet the technology design requirements of the new Scottish Social Security Service. The requirements also include scope to re-use the technology platform to deliver future capabilities from the delivered solution to meet the needs of different services.
