The procurement falls under the industry category of computer support and consultancy services. The tender, with a value of £90,000 GBP, was awarded through a direct award method with a tender period ending on June 19, 2023. The contract period is from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025. The key objective is to provide legal and commercial support for insourcing IT services from Civica within a 2-year timeframe. This tender by Luton Council presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the IT services sector. Suppliers with expertise in providing legal and commercial support for IT service insourcing are well-suited to compete. The Council's focus on adopting a cloud-based approach, enhancing digital service offerings, and improving customer service provides a platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities and contribute to the successful transition of IT services within the specified timeline. ## Notice Following a Direct Award process the following business has been awarded , called off , from the CCS management consultancy framework MCF RM6187 Phase 2. Original project brief Luton Borough Council is looking to engage qualified organisations to quote for the provision of commercial and legal support in the insource of the Council's IT services from Civica. The Council currently has a managed service contract with Civica to provide their IT services. The contract is due to expire in four years' time (2026). Civica has indicated that it will not re-tender for the service as they are planning on exiting the ITO market to focus on their software products. In addition the Council is keen to regain control of its IT services as it wishes to adopt a cloud-based approach, fur-ther support mobile and remote working and improve customer service by improving its digital ser-vice offering. The Council is seeking quotations from suppliers who are able to provide legal and commercial support to improve the Business As Usual (BAU) service as well as develop an exit strategy for the Council to enable a successful end to the contract. The Council is keen to achieve this within 2 years rather than to the end of the current contract. A successful outcome will be an ex-it strategy agreed by both parties, an agreement from Civica to honour their commitments to service provision whilst the exit and transition is executed with no resulting impact on BAU performance ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f72b9fbd-f476-40b6-bf57-325e30f3f0ee | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 19 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | 2 Jan 2025 | | Award date | 19 Jun 2023 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2023 - 30 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £103,926 | | 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 | LUTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LUTON | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH21 Luton | | Local authority | Luton | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Luton South and South Bedfordshire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BEST PRACTICE GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72600000 - Computer support and consultancy services ## Release History - 29 Aug 2023 at 14:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f72b9fbd-f476-40b6-bf57-325e30f3f0ee - 23 Aug 2023 at 13:11 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e772c1a5-2802-46f5-8f6b-36b127c1d2b3 - 22 Aug 2023 at 10:26 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0befb3c3-68d3-4023-853a-41d7c5426294 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f72b9fbd-f476-40b6-bf57-325e30f3f0ee 29th August 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e772c1a5-2802-46f5-8f6b-36b127c1d2b3 23rd August 2023 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0befb3c3-68d3-4023-853a-41d7c5426294 22nd August 2023 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.luton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
