This initiative falls within the software package and information systems industry and is set to take place in the United Kingdom. The engagement end date for interested parties to submit their expressions of interest is 9th November 2021, while a pre-market Supplier Day will be held on 11th November 2021 to further explore the requirements and capabilities available in the market. This tender represents a significant opportunity for software development firms and technology providers, especially those focusing on case management systems and digital solutions that enhance functionality and reduce human error. Businesses that specialise in software development, particularly SMEs looking to expand their client base in the public sector, would be well-positioned to compete. The initial budget for this project is set at £160,000, with further funding anticipated for ongoing maintenance and support, making it an attractive opportunity for companies interested in long-term public contracts. ## Notice 1. Introduction and Background. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Office for Product Safety and Standards have a need to develop a Designated Standards Database (Case Management System) The current technical solution relies too much on human input, resulting in error, and lacks the level of functionality required to monitor standards development, provide individual oversight of workloads, review performance metrics, and collaborate with other government departments. It is hoped that an adapted case management system may be able to provide the level of functionality required. OPSS is keen to explore this and any other adaptable solution which can house detailed entry records, allows users to monitor tasks, has a reporting function, and can be updated via a 3rd party data stream. UK Shared Business Services (UK SBS) provide procurement services for BEIS, and in support of this project, UK SBS and BEIS are looking to hold a pre-market Supplier day on Thursday 11th November 2021 which will assist in the development of our understanding of both the applications on the market and any new capabilities that may be on the horizon. The proposed funding range is PS160,000.00 for an initial build and further funding for further years for maintenance and support costs. 2. Pre-Market Engagement Supplier Day We would like to invite prospective bidders to attend a pre-market engagement webinar session on Thursday 11th November 2021, via Microsoft Teams meeting.
