Notice Information

Notice Title

Homes England - Microsoft Support Pre-Market Engagement

Notice Description

Homes England is currently undergoing an organisation-wide transformation which will improve and evolve the way in which all business areas (customer facing and back office) deliver their services to its customers (internal and external). At the centre of this transformation is an aspiration to become a more flexible and scalable, digitally enabled organisation, enabling Homes England to realise benefits from: - Increasing productivity and value for money. - Improving the delivery of services to customers and users, - Reducing the organisation's exposure to risk, and - Enabling the organisation to deliver its mission and strategic objectives. The transformation of Homes England is underway and will run as a funded portfolio of work until March 2025, although the evolution of Homes England will continue beyond the programme end date, as part of a continuous improvement approach to organisational change. As a result of this, our Digital function has a requirement to secure Supplier(s) who can provide us with a range of support services. These are specific capabilities that: - We do not have in-house, or - We do have in-house but not at the capacity required, or - Are not suitable/appropriate for an organisation of our size/profile to hold internally. This Pre-Market Engagement is not a call to competition. The aims of this engagement are to: - Alert potential suppliers to the forthcoming opportunity which will be advertised through the appropriate procurement channel(s). - Set out the indicative timetable for the procurement. - Outline the key objectives for the forthcoming procurement. - Gain feedback from the market to inform the upcoming procurement exercise. https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=10d77524-08d7-ee11-8127-005056b64545&p=315ec497-7ab1-e611-8118-000c29c9ba21
