The procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category and is located in Hull, Yorkshire and the Humber, England. Currently in the Tender stage, the tender period ends on 1st August 2022, while the contract is expected to commence on 1st September 2022 and run until 31st March 2023. This open procurement process involves a public invitation for bids and requires suppliers to deliver a bespoke customer portal and a supporting operational ERP system. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly software developers, IT consultants, and companies with expertise in Microsoft business solutions and Windows PowerApps technology. Suitable contenders should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to design and implement the requested systems while offering flexibility in their approach to project management. The requirements for technical specifications and integration highlight the need for extensive experience in software development, system management, and possibly project management consultancy services, making this a valuable opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand their portfolios and collaborate with public sector organisations. ## Notice We are seeking to appoint a supplier to design, develop, build and test our own bespoke customer portal and supporting operational ERP system, that will enable the business to improve their internal processes and allow them to offer a new technical online service to their existing and new clients. The company is looking for a sole supplier (software developer/ IT consultant / software company), Initial details on the proposed contract are provided below. Detailed required will be provided on completion of an NDA. Please register your details below to obtain the NDA documentation. - The project to be completed over 6 months, dependent how much resource the service provider is able to place on the project. Bidders must provide a clear breakdown of their proposed timeframes and approaches within their bidder response. - We understand the standard approach to this type of build is to work in sprints, however we are flexible on our approach, we expect the supplier to provide details of their approach in the bid documents. - The successful supplier will need to identify any equipment and the technical specifications required to run and complete this project. However, the hardware will be advertised as a separate procurement activity (once all the equipment has been identified). - We are seeking a supplier with extensive understanding of Microsoft business and Windows PowerApps technology (or equivalent) to utilise with our scope and connect with other Windows technology. Associated costs e.g. licenses fee for the build are expected to be included in the supplier bid. - The successful supplier of this procurement bid will need to identify any additional licenses required to host the system. The company wishes to purchase any hosting costs these directly-(i.e. not via the successful supplier) therefore hosting costs do NOT form part of this procurement bid but maybe subject to a separate procurement activity. - Whilst we would expect to own any IP on our finished product and to be able to access our code on the finished product. We understand it is common practice to use existing "platform" or existing code from other projects/ alongside Windows Apps technology in order to keep costs down.

Subject to final agreement, we are in principle open to this approach. - For this procurement, the final price should be a fixed price to include all costs, including (but not exclusively) consultancy fee/ time; testing/installation of equipment/ installation of software/ integration of system/all data transfer and testing. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/289976da-7a9d-4242-8e9c-7332e63bc90e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | 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 | SPARKFUND | | Locality | HULL | | Post town | Hull | | Postcode | HU6 7RX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE11 Kingston upon Hull, City of | | Local authority | Kingston upon Hull, City of | | Electoral ward | University | | Westminster constituency | Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48151000 - Computer control system - 48213000 - Operating system enhancement software package - 48219300 - Administration software package - 48219700 - Communications server software package - 48222000 - Web server software package - 48300000 - Document creation, drawing, imaging, scheduling and productivity software package - 48310000 - Document creation software package - 48311000 - Document management software package - 48315000 - Desktop-publishing software package - 48331000 - Project management software package - 48333000 - Contact management software package - 48430000 - Inventory management software package - 48445000 - Customer Relation Management software package - 48516000 - Exchange software package - 48610000 - Database systems - 48612000 - Database-management system - 48614000 - Data-acquisition system - 48780000 - System, storage and content management software package - 48781000 - System management software package - 48800000 - Information systems and servers - 48810000 - Information systems - 48812000 - Financial information systems - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services - 72212445 - Customer Relation Management software development services - 72220000 - Systems and technical consultancy services - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 72226000 - System software acceptance testing consultancy services - 72246000 - Systems consultancy services - 72253200 - Systems support services - 72254100 - Systems testing services - 72600000 - Computer support and consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services - 79411000 - General management consultancy services - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services ## Release History - 15 Jul 2022 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/289976da-7a9d-4242-8e9c-7332e63bc90e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/289976da-7a9d-4242-8e9c-7332e63bc90e 15th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL164758 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.spark-fund.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
