The Police ICT Company wish to establish a single provider framework agreement for the provisions of software and hardware managed services. This will be for a period of 4 years (with an initial term of 3 years and the option for the Police ICT Company, acting in its sole discretion, to extend for a further 1 year), aiming to commence on 1 April 2021.
The Police ICT Company is conducting this procurement as a restricted two stage process. At stage 1 (SQ), the Police ICT Company intends to shortlist a minimum of five (5) highest scoring bidders to proceed to the next stage of the procurement (Stage 2 ITT). The Police ICT Company will take no more than five bidders to proceed to the next stage of the procurement.
The Company requires a provider for the provision of a managed IT service to support its operations and that of the agencies that the Company also supports. The existing contract for the service expires on 1 April 2021. There will be a transition period where the newly appointment provider will be required to work with the incumbent provider, to ensure a smooth transition, so minimising the disruption to the users and the Company.
The framework is open to a wide range of policing bodies, law enforcement agencies and other Bluelight Services. A full list is set out within the ITT documentation.
The Company is procuring a framework agreement which is open for itself and all policing bodies and law enforcement agencies to use. The Company intends to award its own call-off contract immediately upon completion of the framework agreement, with service delivery commencing for the Company from 1 April 2021 (with any transition and implementation effort being completed before that date). Additional call-off contracts may be awarded at any time during the remainder of the term of the framework agreement, subject to the provisions regarding the term of call-off contracts as set out in the framework agreement and template call-off contract (including, without limitation, that any other customer’s call-off contract must be co-terminous with that of the Company).
The Company will operate as agent for other customers in managing their call-off contracts, to ensure streamlined service delivery. Further details are included in the framework agreement and template call-off contract.
The estimated value of the framework described in this OJEU notice is GBP 6 million. This is on the assumption that a number of call-off contracts, in addition to the Company’s own contract, are awarded. The Company estimates the value of its own contract (assuming that all 5 years of the call-off contract term are utilised) to be GBP 2-GBP 3 million. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company gives no warranty or representation as to the value of any call-off contract, or the number of call-off contracts, if any, which may be awarded
