UK SBS IT16129 Quality Management Support System

Notice Description

It is the intention of RAL Space to procure an integrated system for managing electronic documents and records, driven by requirements for better traceability in a new test facility required to be certified to the ESA standard for Space Test Centres, ECSS-Q-ST-20-07C which requires compliance with BS EN 9100:2009, the Quality Management Systems standard for the aviation, space and defence sectors. The most critical required functionality is the management of non-conformances and their associated actions within an integrated system and in compliance with the requirements of ESA standard ECSS-Q-ST-10-09C. About UK Shared Business Services Putting the business into shared services UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our customers improve efficiency, generate savings and modernise. It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector.

UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013.

UK SBS currently manages PS700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to PS1bn in 2013/14. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.
