UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) is a non-departmental public body accountable to Parliament through the department for digital, culture, media and sport. UKAD is the UK National Anti-Doping organisation and provides testing services as well as case management, anti-doping intelligence and education services. UKAD wishes to appoint a supplier to provide IT support (‘the Services’) as more particularly described in the procurement documents. It is envisaged that the initial duration of the contract shall be 3 years, with an option to extend for a further 3 years in periods of 12 months in respect of each renewal. To be provided with access to the procurement documents, please email ukad@ukad.org.uk including the subject heading ‘IT Procurement’.
UKAD wishes to appoint a provider to provide a managed IT service to encompass the following services:
The above list is not exhaustive and UKAD reserves the right to utilise the appointed provider to cover other aspects of managing its IT estate (including software) or assisting UKAD to incorporate new hardware/software as may be required. Further details concerning the anticipated and potential scope for this contract are provided in the specification which is available via the UKAD portal (access to which can be provided by emailing ukad@ukad.org.uk and including the subject heading ‘IT Procurement’).
It is envisaged that the initial contract term will be for a duration of 3 years, however, UKAD wishes to reserve the right to extend the contract for a further 3 years, divided into renewal periods of 12 months each (i.e. 3 + 1 + 1 + 1). UKAD will need to vacate its current premises at Fleetbank House within the next 12 months to 2 years and is currently viewing a number of potential locations in both London and Loughborough. The selected supplier will therefore need to be willing/able to provide on-site support as may be needed across all UKAD sites. It is envisaged that UKAD may have further information on the location of its new premises during the procurement process.
Initial 3-year duration, followed by 3 further options to renew the contract for a period of 12 months each.
The successful supplier may be required to actively participate in the achievement of social and/or environmental objectives. Accordingly contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social, environmental or other corporate social responsibility considerations. Further details will be set out in the procurement documents.
Bidders will remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them or by any third party acting under instructions from bidders in connection with taking part in this procurement, regardless of whether such costs arise as a consequence direct or indirect of any amendments made to the procurement documents by UKAD at any time.
(iii) change the basis, the procedures and the timescales set out or referred to within the procurement documents;
(iv) require a bidder to clarify any submissions in writing and/or provide additional information (failure to respond adequately may result in disqualification);
Any review proceedings should be promptly brought to the attention of Philip Bunt, Chief Operating Officer, UK Anti-Doping, Fleetbank House, 2-6 Salisbury Square, London, EC4Y 8AE, and will be dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (‘PCR 2015’). Any review proceedings must be brought within the timescales specified by the applicable law, including, without limitation, PCR 2015. In accordance with PCR 2015, UKAD will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period from the date information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers.
