The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded to CACI Limited, valued at £87,948. The contract commenced on 1st January 2019 and will run until 30th June 2019, with the tender period having concluded on 1st December 2018. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in IT services and software development, to engage with a high-profile public sector buyer. Companies specialising in support and maintenance of IT systems may find this tender particularly relevant, alongside businesses that can offer innovative solutions within the CQC's operational change requirements. With the focus on flexibility and mid-sized development changes, smaller contractors and agile firms may also compete effectively, leveraging their adaptability and specialised expertise. ## Notice CQC have previously benefitted from CACI's Ongoing Assistance Scheme (OAS) which afforded small changes to be made to the system by CACI. However, it has now become clear that CQC require more change from CACI than the OAS scheme is capable of. This is in part due to CQC's own system administration team becoming more proficient with the Cygnum system and being able to affect small changes (that would previously have come to CACI on the scheme) to the system themselves, but also many of the emerging CQC requirements for change require a level of development from CACI that is greater than the 5 days cap afforded in the OAS. It is not good value for money for CQC to have a series of large releases for change work as has happened previously. There is need to have a flexible approach to the frequent and medium sized requirements that are likely. In recognition of this, CACI have proposed a new scheme for CQC called an Operational Change Scheme (OCS). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1295fc9a-588e-4314-a43d-b189bb1f9a72 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Other - Contract variation | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 1 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Jun 2017 | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2019 - 30 Jun 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £73,290 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £560,736 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CARE QUALITY COMMISSION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 9SZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Pimlico North | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CACI | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 7 Jan 2019 at 14:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1295fc9a-588e-4314-a43d-b189bb1f9a72 - 19 Jul 2018 at 14:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f526858f-4478-47f4-8ac7-ab455a677c7f - 12 Jul 2017 at 11:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ceb9ede4-f032-4c21-8db4-6b01bbddae1f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1295fc9a-588e-4314-a43d-b189bb1f9a72 7th January 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f526858f-4478-47f4-8ac7-ab455a677c7f 19th July 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ceb9ede4-f032-4c21-8db4-6b01bbddae1f 12th July 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7215e19e-896e-42f5-b6f2-bcfb77cab0f6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b341337e-7917-4952-b4c4-8cf67de5c8e2 CQC ICTC 723 CCN - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1e0f48ea-9479-48ba-ad33-fc72a2fd3c5d CQC ICTC 723 CCN 002 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
