Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council is currently undergoing a procurement process for the implementation and migration services of software and ongoing maintenance, specifically focused on two lots: Lot 1 for HR and Payroll system and Lot 2 for a Finance Management system, which includes eProcurement functionalities. The procurement method used is a selective and negotiated procedure, with the tender originally published on 6th February 2020, and the contracting authority intends the initial contract term to span ten years with possible extensions. The project locations are within the North West region of the United Kingdom, and responses to this tender were welcomed until the 9th of March 2020.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in software development, IT consulting, and data migration services. Businesses that possess the capability to provide cost-effective solutions with open systems and flexible APIs will be well-placed to compete. The total procurement value is set between £3 million and £7.5 million, thus inviting suppliers who can ensure successful integration of systems and meet Blackpool Council's long-term objectives and budget constraints.

Notice Title

Implementation & Migration Services, Software & Maintenance:

Notice Description

Blackpool Council is undertaking this procurement process on the supplier portal - The Chest (Proactis). A link to the opportunity is included below. Please direct any questions about this tender via the supplier portal. Blackpool Council requires implementation and data migration services, software, and ongoing maintenance and support of the software for: * Lot 1 - HR and Payroll system and * Lot 2 - Finance Management system (including eProcurement). The Authority is seeking interest from Suppliers: * who can demonstrate the required experience, knowledge, skills, capacity, capability and a successful track record for providing the requirements; * who can develop cost-effective solutions to help the Authority meet its current and future objectives; * who have open systems, with flexible and open APIs, which enable easy integration between these two systems and any other systems the Council might utilise; * who can deliver all the Council's requirements within the context of any other commitments; and * who can provide a solution within the Council's affordability envelope. The Council is seeking separate bids and is intending to enter into separate contracts with Suppliers for Lot 1 and Lot 2. Each Supplier system must have the ability, through the utilisation of open APIs, to work together to provide a joined-up solution. Suppliers are not precluded from submitting proposals for both lots. Responses are welcome for all potential options for delivery including cloud or internally hosted but the Councils' preferred solution is one which makes use of open standards to ensure technology works and communicates with other technology and can easily be upgraded and expanded. Lot 1 - HR & Payroll - Implementation will be required from September 2020 to meet an anticipated Go-Live date of early Spring 2022. Contract Dates - the initial contract term will be 10 years which may (subject to budget and satisfactory performance review) be extended for a further 5 years. Lot 2 - Finance including eProcurement - Implementation will be required from September 2021 to meet an anticipated Go-Live date of 1st April 2023. Contract Dates - the initial contract term will be 10 years which may (subject to budget and satisfactory performance review) be extended for a further 5 years.
