This procurement falls under the IT services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. Currently in the tender stage, the deadline for submissions is set for 26th February 2021. The total contract value ranges from a minimum of £36 million to a maximum of £72 million, and the selected contract is expected to begin on 26th July 2021, lasting until 25th July 2026. The procurement method is competitive dialogue, which provides an interactive approach to ensure proposals meet the MHRA's complex requirements. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses that specialise in IT services, particularly those offering consulting, software development, and support services. Companies with experience in transitioning IT systems or developing regulatory management systems will find this project particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the procurement strategy is inclusive of various business sizes. Engaging in this project could significantly enhance a business's portfolio and open avenues for future collaborations with the MHRA and other public sector clients. ## Notice The Agency operates a complex suite of IT systems in support of its functions. Support for, and further development of, this suite is provided by a number of incumbent suppliers, with the largest service currently provided under a contracted service known as the Current Applications Outsource (AO) Service. The Current AO Contract is coming to an end, and the Agency is now seeking to award a new contract for Successor AO Service to continue support for these systems. This will be contracted immediately as part of this Procurement Exercise, along with the work to transition as swiftly as possible from the Current AO Service to the Successor AO Service. The Agency may require the continued development of the Successor AO Service from both a functional and technical perspective. The Agency is also embarking on the development of a completely new suite of systems which will replace the Current application Outsource. These new systems are collectively known as the Regulatory Management System (RMS). At this stage, the requirements for RMS are evolving along with the Agency's business requirements. During the Procurement Exercise, aspects of this may be worked up in outline. However such elements, along with the related work to transition from AO to RMS, is an optional package of services which will be fully worked up with the Successful Bidder in accordance with the terms of the Contract if the Agency decides to proceed with commissioning the RMS and subject to agreement between the parties as and when the requirement becomes sufficiently stable post-procurement. Please see 'additional text' for further information. Additional information: Continued from section 3 'description' a. Package 1 Services: transition to and operational support for Successor AO Service Procured based on detailed requirements and fully priced and evaluated proposals. This is a committed package of services to be delivered as soon as possible; b. Package 2 Services Option: the further development of AO, and the development of RMS Procured based on detailed requirements and fully priced and evaluated proposals, ordered at the Agency's sole discretion at any time after contract award.

The terms of the Contract will set out how such a draw down procedure will operate and Applicants should note there is no guarantee the Package 2 Services will be ordered; c. Package 3 Services Option: transition from AO to RMS, operational support for RMS Procured based on partially elaborated requirements, and indicatively capped-priced evaluated proposals, ordered at the Agency's sole discretion at any time after contract award.

The terms of the Contract will set out how such a draw down procedure will operate and Applicants should note there is no guarantee the Package 2 Services will be ordered. d.
