Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive has awarded a contract for maintenance support for two bespoke Microsoft Access databases (Biological Monitoring (BMDB) and Environmental Monitoring (EMDB) databases). The procurement method used was "limited" and the procurement method details stated "Negotiated without publication of a contract notice". The contract is valued at £11,000 and was signed on 17th January 2023. This opportunity is suited for businesses with expertise in database services, particularly those with experience in maintaining and converting bespoke databases.

The tender, issued by the Health & Safety Executive, is in the "award" stage and is for a services category contract in the industry of database services. The contract includes 12 months of database maintenance throughout 2023, requiring a response within 48 hours of a call for assistance. As the current provider, ICIFM LTD, has been awarded the contract, it creates opportunities for other database service providers to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future service contracts once the databases are converted to SQL format.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Maintenance support for two bespoke Microsoft Access databases (Biological Monitoring (BMDB) and Environmental Monitoring (EMDB) databases)

Notice Description

Maintenance support for two bespoke Microsoft Access databases (Biological Monitoring (BMDB) and Environmental Monitoring (EMDB) databases). Respond within 48 hours of a call being made for assistance throughout 2023. Seven days of reparative maintenance are included in the contract.

Procurement Information

These are bespoke databases that have been designed and maintained by the current provider (ICIFM). It has been decided to convert these databases to SQL format during the next 12 months. Once in the new format, a service contract will be tendered for. Given the short contract and the need for a provider to get up to speed with bespoke coding, we feel that a satisfactory outcome with another service provider is unlikely.
