Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Southway Housing Trust is for a Digital Workplace and EDM Solution, with the contract aimed at enhancing the use of Microsoft 365. This open procedure falls under the IT services industry category (CPV code 72000000) and is located in Manchester, UK (region UKD33). The tender period concluded on 30th July 2021, and the award period commenced on 2nd August 2021. Southway has defined core objectives, including replacing an existing intranet, improving document management, and automating financial processes, as part of their digital transformation efforts.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), specialising in IT services, software development, and digital consultancy. Companies that possess certifications in recognised project management methodologies, such as PRINCE2 or Agile, and meet specific technical requirements—like being a Microsoft Gold Partner—would be well-suited to compete. With a budget of £1, the low entry threshold indicates potential for substantial growth for innovative suppliers aiming to fulfil the defined objectives of Southway Housing Trust.

Notice Title

*** CONTRACT AWARD *** for a Digital Workplace and EDM Solution

Notice Description

*** CONTRACT AWARD *** for extending the use of Microsoft 365 to implement a "Digital Workplace" and an effective "document management solution" on SharePoint Online.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The core objectives for Microsoft 365 have been identified as needing to replace three existing projects that were already under review prior to considering Microsoft 365. The first two of these projects will create the framework for delivering future efficiencies which Southway see as their Digital Workplace, and will result in an effective Intranet and Document Management platform. In short, these initial objectives are: Objective 1 - Intranet replacement. Objective 2 - Document Management - General business needs. The third requirement is an existing business efficiency project that merges well into the 365 project utilising the 365 framework to deliver more effective financial management processes across the business. Objective 3 - Invoice Automation - Finance Process Enhancement. Such environments could be described as many things by suppliers and customers; however, for the purpose of this tender, we will refer to Southway's desired environment as "Digital Workplace".

Renewal: Annual renewals for up to 5 years.
