Notice Title

FCCS Design and Validation

Notice Description

The provision of specialist FCCS Design and Validation services to deliver the final tranche of work under Project FCCS T190Plus. The services include technical lead support, assurance of existing FCCS deliverables, production of Work Instructions and Templates for Early Release and Shadow Mode (MVP), BIM-aligned templates to enable CCS, and supporting system safety artefacts. The services will be delivered by a single supplier under an NR1 contract, with spend incurred against defined milestones and deliverables under a capped time and materials commercial model, up to an approved contract value of PS818,000.

Procurement Information

The supplier has delivered all previous phases of the FCCS Design and Validation work and is the author of the FCCS Process Framework, associated Generic and Specific Application Processes, and supporting system safety artefacts. The remaining scope requires detailed programme-specific knowledge and integration with existing deliverables and Synthetic Environment tooling that cannot be replicated without disproportionate duplication, rework and assurance risk. Replacing the incumbent supplier would require redevelopment and re-assurance of existing outputs, introduce material delay, and create safety and integration risk. Only the incumbent supplier is technically capable of delivering the remaining scope within the required timescales while maintaining continuity, safety assurance and system integrity.
