The procurement method used was a selective procedure of restricted access split into two phases. The contract value is estimated at £2.8 billion, with a contract period starting on March 5, 2024, and ending on July 24, 2027. This opportunity falls under the main procurement category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, making it suitable for businesses operating in the technology sector. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses looking to provide IT services within the public sector. The framework agreement opens doors for suppliers to support UK Public Sector Bodies, including Central Government Departments, Local Authorities, Health, Police, and Education. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that comply with the technical requirements, such as Cyber Essentials certification, are well-suited to compete for contracts within this framework. Businesses interested in participating should keep an eye on the specific deadlines and requirements outlined in the tender documents. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service (CCS), working with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), has put in place to procure a new Framework Agreement for IT Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS). The DALAS framework will provide a strategic gateway to support the delivery of future application services and move HMRC toward an application services support model that is less dependent upon legacy technologies. The framework will provide a commercial vehicle to replace existing contractual arrangements that are due to expire between September 2023 and January 2025, and will provide the basis for letting a large proportion of HMRC future application services requirements. The framework will also be available to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. The procurement has been delivered using one restricted procedure was split into two phases. Phase 1 included Lots 2a, 2b, 3 and 5. Phase 2 includes Lots 1, 4a and 4b. Additional information: The value provided is an estimate. We cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this Commercial Agreement. On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders were required to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders were required to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement. CCS reserved the right to award a framework to any bidder whose final score was within 1% of the last position. For Lot 4a, six suppliers were awarded a place as opposed to the number of five as was originally stated in the Contract Notice that was published on 05/10/2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a0a796f-39f9-4c67-a656-12acfc74e815 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | 5 Mar 2024 - 24 Jul 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,800,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,800,000,000 | | 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 | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | A LIST OF SUCCESSFUL SUPPLIERS CAN BE FOUND IN THE ATTACHMENTS A | ## 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 May 2024 at 13:26 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a0a796f-39f9-4c67-a656-12acfc74e815 - 16 Apr 2024 at 10:41 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a0a796f-39f9-4c67-a656-12acfc74e815 - 2 Apr 2024 at 14:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a0a796f-39f9-4c67-a656-12acfc74e815 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a0a796f-39f9-4c67-a656-12acfc74e815 7th May 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4e291d29-e0b0-49d5-97e4-1fef4712b255 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f99c93e7-5e89-4652-87c4-d6d31329e5e2 RM6355 Framework Agreement Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2b6528aa-0351-4a48-8da1-8127061a36b9 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010610-2024 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fe695dc9-c73c-4765-bb95-7d94f4bfb14f Successful Supplier List ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/ccs - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
