Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation I T S (BSO ITS) is seeking to renew its annual Oracle Support Renewals for the HSC Oracle Estate, a process classified under services within the IT services category. The procurement method is limited and was negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, highlighting the exclusive rights of Oracle Corporation to provide these particular services. The contract, valued at £700,000, was signed on 10 March 2022, and the delivery will occur within the United Kingdom as per the specified address in Belfast.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those that offer licensing support and advanced customer support for Oracle products. Companies capable of providing shift support, system health checks, and critical database management could be well-positioned to compete, especially those with existing relationships or arrangements through the Crown Commercial Services framework. The anticipated substantial discounts off the list price could further enhance the appeal for competitive bids from interested suppliers.
