The procurement method employed was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £30,000, was initiated to secure specialised software and equipment necessary for conducting workstation assessments in accordance with the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. The contract period runs from 24 March 2020 to 24 August 2020, with key dates including the contract award issued on 24 March 2020 and the deadline for the tender phase which ended on 17 March 2020. The procurement primarily falls within the services industry, specifically under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The location for service delivery is within England, United Kingdom. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of IT and software solutions that aid in workplace adjustments and ergonomic evaluations. Companies that manufacture or supply dictation software, assistive technology, or similar services would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. The requirement underscores a commitment to meeting legal obligations while also opening avenues for innovative solutions in fostering a more adaptable working environment, which can significantly contribute to business growth in this specialised sector. ## Notice In order for DfT to meet our legal requirements under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, we are required to conduct workstation assessments for each desk/user, and provide adjustments as required to individual users. For some users, this includes the provision of specialised software/technology. These assessments have historically been paid for by GPC. However, this is not permitted under DfT buying rules, given the large amount of spend involved (c. PS60,000/year). As such, we are looking to put a contract in place. We plan to go out to market for this requirement. However, due to our legal obligation to provide these assessments and adjustments, we need to put in a short term contract to cover period of the tender process. This could be done with our existing supplier, The Speech Centre. Our needs include: Livescribe equipment, Dictation software and headset, any associated training ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d521f7b9-1318-444d-8ee9-ffd490c0cea3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Mar 2020 | | Contract period | 24 Mar 2020 - 24 Aug 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £30,000 | | 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 | THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DR | | 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 | Vincent Square | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE SPEECH CENTRE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 15 Apr 2021 at 09:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d521f7b9-1318-444d-8ee9-ffd490c0cea3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d521f7b9-1318-444d-8ee9-ffd490c0cea3 15th April 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8e66e35a-fe86-46e8-9414-04f4d8e3aa33 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
