Summary of the contracting process

The current procurement process, initiated by the Crown Commercial Service on behalf of the Cabinet Office, pertains to the SOP2SaaS Programme, which aimed to secure an Implementation Partner for a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. This procurement was situated within the IT services industry and primarily focused on consulting and software development. Unfortunately, the procurement has been terminated as of recently due to its non-viability, as discussions determined it would not align with the policy cluster strategy. The initial plan included a competitive negotiation process, but it is now marked as complete with no further action expected. This procurement was expected to impact operations across finance, HR, payroll, and procurement functions, primarily serving the UK operational needs.

    "description": "The Cabinet Office's work with OGDs as a member of the policy cluster, under the auspices of HM Government's shared services strategy, has deemed this procurement to be no longer viable. Discussions with OGDs in the policy cluster and GBS have resulted in the conclusion that a contract awarded as a result of the MyCO Implementation Partner procurement (erstwhile, SOP2SaaS Implementation Partner procurement) would not deliver the agreed policy cluster strategy. Therefore, regretfully, the Cabinet Office has made the decision to terminate the MyCO Implementation Partner procurement. Termination of this procurement is in accordance with Paragraph VI.3 of Contract Notice 2020/S 065-156378 (The authority may terminate, amend or clarify, all or any part of the procurement at any time as it sees fit without incurring any liability to any supplier). The MyCO Programme realises this is not the outcome you were hoping for and would like to thank you and your colleagues for the hard work undertaken during the course of the procurement. We do hope that you will continue to participate in future Cabinet Office and Crown Commercial Service Procurements.",
