Notice Title

Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS) Lots 1, 4a & 4b

Notice Description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), working with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), has put in place to procure a new Framework Agreement for IT Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS). The DALAS framework will provide a strategic gateway to support the delivery of future application services and move HMRC toward an application services support model that is less dependent upon legacy technologies. The framework will provide a commercial vehicle to replace existing contractual arrangements that are due to expire between September 2023 and January 2025, and will provide the basis for letting a large proportion of HMRC future application services requirements. The framework will also be available to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. The procurement has been delivered using one restricted procedure was split into two phases. Phase 1 included Lots 2a, 2b, 3 and 5. Phase 2 includes Lots 1, 4a and 4b. Additional information: The value provided is an estimate. We cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this Commercial Agreement. On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders were required to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders were required to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement. CCS reserved the right to award a framework to any bidder whose final score was within 1% of the last position. For Lot 4a, six suppliers were awarded a place as opposed to the number of five as was originally stated in the Contract Notice that was published on 05/10/2022.
