In order to assist with the delivery of the Programme, the Contracting Authority is seeking to source and appoint up to 3 Service Providers who will provide the Contracting Authority with the technical consultancy and design services (the ‘Services’) and further provide the Programme with experienced, industry-led ‘intelligent client’ function that will assist with providing advice and assurance during Programme planning and delivery.
The Contracting Authority requires Programme-level strategic and delivery advice, consultancy and insight in direct support of the Programme Senior Leadership Team. For clarity, the Contracting Authority is not looking for a partner to deliver project outputs but to provide technical expertise and experience to enable successful completion of the Programme.
In the event that 1 Tenderer is successful with their Tenders for more than one Lot, the Contracting Authority reserves its rights (acting in accordance the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) to award a single contract combining the Lots that the Tenderer has been successful with.
Delivering the 2021 Census will involve the Contracting Authority establishing a Field Force of upto 47 000 employees. To assist with this challenge, the Service Provider on this Lot may be asked to work with the Contracting Authority's own in-house capability and provide technical consultancy, advisory (assurance) and design services across some or all of the following areas:
Full details of the scope of the Services that the Contracting Authority is seeking to procure via this Lot are included in the procurement documents.
The Contract will be for an initial period of 3 years from the start date, with option to extend for a further 3 years in 1 year increments (giving a total potential term of the Contract of 6 years). Full details of the proposed duration are included within the procurement documents.
The Contracting Authority envisages that the Framework Agreement for this Lot will be delivered by a single Service Provider that has access to (and may therefore be able to provide) the full range of the Services that may be required by the Contracting Authority on this Lot. Full details of the scope of the services required are contained within the procurement documents.
In undertaking the 2021 Census, the Contracting Authority anticipates using several digital and technological solutions to deliver a solution capable of supporting the delivery of the predominantly online census. The activities in this area will be led by the Contracting Authority's in-house digital, technology and methodology directorate.

Eligibility requirements: Tenderers are referred to the information provided within the ITT.

Award value: 13000000
