Suppliers should note that they must be able to meet the pre-requisites listed in this notice and within the SQ. The 4 pre-requisites suppliers must be able meet are listed below:
1) The proposed bidder must have current Pan London customers. (We would expect the list to have at least 4 customers to ensure continued support and maintained solution);
2) The proposed solution must have the functionality that allows one system and one record per child, school,private provider, parent; etc.
4) System must provide full API’s suite to ensure the ability to export/integrate into third party applications seamlessly. As a minimum it must integrate with liquid logic, DfE, Ofsted, Capita One, MyHounslow (Jadu) account.
The criteria for the pre-requisites is pass/fail and the supplier may not be able to proceed to the SQ if a ‘Pass’is not achieved.
The purpose of the checklist enclosed within the SQ is for suppliers to confirm that they can meet individual requirements by selecting a response of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Suppliers must be able to meet 95 % of all items in the checklist, however it the percentage is less the council will consider this and potentially discuss the outcome with the supplier meeting less than 95 %.
Suppliers must complete the SQ and self-select that they are able to meet the requirements in the checklist by selecting a response of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
Supplier demonstrations will be a key aspect of the quality evaluation process therefore the demonstrations should not be a sales pitch. Demonstrations will be used to assess submissions for compliance to the prerequisites, checklist and specification.
