The procurement involves capturing and recording hardware and software requirements using a tool that enables traceability, analysis, and management of information changes. The contract has a value of £250,000 and a tender period ending on 24th November 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure (above threshold) with a contract period from 12th December 2022 to 17th December 2027. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the services industry, to provide Software solutions for space-based scientific projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suitable for this tender. Businesses interested in supplying cloud-based and on-premises Software solutions should consider exploring this opportunity, which has been initiated by the UK Shared Business Services Limited operating in Swindon, England. ## Notice **The procurement procedure did not result in a contract award as no suitable offers were made** The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) requires a Software package to capture/ record any hardware and software requirements for space based scientific projects. Upon receiving a specification from within STFC, the document (which must be readable by Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Adobe Acrobat) will be manually uploaded into the tool, which will allow users to capture, trace, analyse, and manage any changes made to information and requirements set out within the document. A user would then manually select the requirements within the specification to flow down to the relevant users. The tool would allow a user to follow the requirement down the 'tree' to the lowest level to ensure that the engineer with the correct skill set picks up and processes the requirement. It will also allow test results to be related to specific requirements to show if they have been met. For avoidance of doubt, year 1 of this requirement is cloud based, with the intention to move to an on-premises solution in year 2 for the remainder of the contract. The decision will be made by STFC in year 1 of the agreement, in consultation with the supplier. Any deviation from this intention will not be a material change under PCR 2015 Regulation 72. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/811782a2-72d9-46c1-a07a-f81ca9116cff | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Dec 2022 - 17 Dec 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 14 Aug 2023 at 09:03 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/811782a2-72d9-46c1-a07a-f81ca9116cff - 21 Oct 2022 at 15:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/811782a2-72d9-46c1-a07a-f81ca9116cff ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/811782a2-72d9-46c1-a07a-f81ca9116cff 14th August 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com Bidders should note that the RFP and all related Qualification / Selection Questionnaire are located within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.
