Procurement Information

There will be significant cost and inconvenience to the Authority and economic operators associated with tendering for the following reasons: If we were to change suppliers we would need to do the following; * Due to the bespoke nature of the system build (undertaken with current supplier over 18 months) we would need to spend a considerable amount of project and development time with new supplier/developers to understand and establish the programme of works * Establish if the supplier/developer has the skills to support the design and build and continue the work that has been started * Train the new supplier on the technical and logical architecture and functional design * Understanding of DCC internal structures, who does what, which the current supplier already has * Understanding of business requirements and service delivery which the current supplier already has * Setting up lines of communication and building good working relationships, which we already have with the current supplier For IT, there will be tasks associated with the change in supplier which are; * Remove current supplier from the network * Add new supplier to the network * Add new Users to Citrix Access Gateway (2 factor authentication) Page 6 to 8 * Project Gateway administration * IT specification tender review There will also be tasks associated with the change in supplier that will impact on other services; * Review the Information Processing Agreement (Information Governance) * Review the current DPIA (Information Governance) * Set up of new supplier on CIA (Accounts Payable) * Going out to procurement (Procurement Team/officers from the relevant services) The involvement of five additional teams including Policy & Insight means that the cost of change is therefore prohibitive for new providers.
