This open tender falls under the category of intranet network services and is specifically located in the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 13th July 2021, with a submission deadline set for 3rd September 2021, and the contract period expected to commence on 18th October 2021 and conclude on 17th October 2024. The budget for the professional services component of this project is £16,000, supplemented by an annual maintenance cost of £14,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in networking and intranet development services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio. Companies that can demonstrate strong expertise in user-centric design, strategic consultancy, and project management will be well-positioned to compete. The focus on developing a new, fully functioning intranet platform highlights a demand for innovative solutions that can enhance organisational culture and connectivity, making this an attractive opportunity for potential bidders. ## Notice UK Sport's current intranet does not work as a communications or staff engagement tool. It does not follow user-centric design principles, meaning it is far from user friendly, and is not a tool that easily connects people, either to the business or each other. All these factors have led to low engagement and participation rates. UK Sport's Internal Comms vision is to have integrated, best-in-class internal communications and employee engagement to connect, inform and inspire our people. This includes having essential tools and platforms in place, of high quality which are widely used. We cannot achieve our vision with the current intranet. It has never been more important to have a fully functioning and user-centric intranet. Whilst we are all working remotely, and going forward as we move to more flexible ways of working, it is important to have a central place online that staff can visit which services their needs and keeps them connected to the organisation and each other. During remote working, the intranet is essentially an extension of the office, so it is important to get it right. UK Sport also wants its intranet to reflect the organisation's new strategy, launched in May 2021. UK Sport will "Create the greatest decade of extraordinary sporting moments; reaching, inspiring and uniting more people every day" and one of our ambitions is to create "A prouder, happier and more connected society, brought together through a decade of inspirational sporting moments". To enable our staff to help deliver this, we need them to be able to work at their best; we need to be able to reach, inspire and unite them, and create a proud and connected workforce. We can help achieve this through a best-in-class intranet. The key objectives of the project are to replace the existing intranet with one which: * Effectively supports and connects the organisation and its priorities with our people * Proactively builds community and connectivity, promoting organisational culture, reflecting "one UK Sport" * Inspires and engages staff, celebrates success and demonstrates impact * Allows our people to feel valued, supported and inspired * Helps staff do their jobs efficiently and effectively Important to consider Because we are developing the intranet as a brand new platform and not simply transferring data and pages across from an old site, time and consideration will need to be given to building an effective and extremely user-centric offering, including a site map. We want to work with the chosen supplier on content definition and site construction, so it is important the supplier can support this stage of the process in a clear way. Budget We have a budget of PS16,000 for the professional services stage of the intranet project (e.g. project management, strategic consultancy, design and user experience, training, build/creation, support for successful planning, launch and adoption) and PS14,000 per year for annual licensing costs/ongoing maintenance. Additional information: Please complete and submit the Selection Questionnaire first. If you pass that round, you will then be invited to submit a Tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8a6bc0f-e861-41af-8d44-44e033087e29 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 3 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Oct 2021 - 17 Oct 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | THE UNITED KINGDOM SPORTS COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1B 3HF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 32412120 - Intranet network - 48200000 - Networking, Internet and intranet software package - 72212200 - Networking, Internet and intranet software development services ## Release History - 19 Jul 2021 at 11:21 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8a6bc0f-e861-41af-8d44-44e033087e29 - 13 Jul 2021 at 15:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8a6bc0f-e861-41af-8d44-44e033087e29 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8a6bc0f-e861-41af-8d44-44e033087e29 19th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/038c16ef-5b3e-4b63-8a29-fc8622b4396c Selection Questionnaire Intranet - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0d14d01e-819d-4cc2-b02c-1fd57781524c ITT Intranet - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a9f7ce0c-bfcb-4e07-8002-0c47614ece28 ITT - UK Sport Intranet ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
