The Department of Finance's Civil Service Pensions (CSP) has a requirement for the provision of a replacement solution for Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) Pension Schemes member administration, pensioner payroll, accounting, financial reporting, on-line web services, electronic document management and workflow case management. It is anticipated that the Contract will be for a maximum contract period of 11 1/2 years (which includes a development and implementation period of up to 18 months). This is likely to be on the basis of an implementation period from the effective date (i.e. contract award/ signature) to the operational service commencement date (i.e. "go-live") followed by an initial contract period of seven years (7) years with the option to extend, at the Contracting Authority's discretion, for up to three (3) further periods of one (1) year each. All optional extensions will be subject to review and satisfactory performance assessment conducted by CSP. Please see the procurement documents which provide further information. Additional information: The estimated contract value indicated in Section II.1.5 and II.2.6 represents the potential value of the contract over the maximum contract period which ranges from PS8,000,000 GBP to PS20,000,000 GBP exclusive of VAT. This is an estimated range only and the Department reserves the right to award for a lower or higher amount. This range reflects the potential scale of the contract and takes into account changes and potential modifications to the contract that may be required that could not be identified or foreseen at the time of this procurement exercise but which are complementary to the services to be provided to ensure that the CSP operational service is maintained, upgraded and enhanced over its lifetime. It is envisaged that such modifications would be made without requiring a new procurement procedure in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This range does not however take into account the application of indexation or increases to charges due to increases in the Real Living Wage. Neither CPD nor the Contracting Authority can provide any guarantee as to the level of business under this contract. The Contracting Authority does not bind itself to accept the lowest or any tender. Economic Operators remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them or by any third party acting under instructions from the Economic Operator in connection with taking part in this procurement process regardless of whether such costs arise as a consequence, directly or indirectly of any amendments made to the procurement documents by the Contracting Authority at any time. No legally binding contract shall arise (and an Economic Operator shall have no legitimate expectation that a contract will be entered into) until such time as entry into the Contract has been confirmed by the Contracting Authority. Economic Operators should note that all dates, time periods and figures in relation to values and volumes specified in this notice and the procurement documents are approximate only and the Contracting Authority reserves the right to change any or all of them.
Options: This contract will have the option to extend, at the Contracting Authority's discretion, for up to three (3) further periods of one (1) year each. All optional extensions will be subject to review and satisfactory performance assessment conducted by Civil Service Pensions.
