This initiative falls under the IT services category and is based in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The tender is at the active planning stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 23 April 2019. The procurement method adopted is a selective negotiated procedure, aiming for a contract period commencing 1 May 2019 and concluding on 30 April 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting and software development, particularly those with capability in developing housing options systems. Companies that have experience in fast-tracking software implementation and utilising internal resources for configuration will be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the urgency of the Council’s needs and the potential for a swift setup with a qualified vendor, agile firms looking to expand their contracts in the public sector could greatly benefit from participating in this process. ## Notice The Council requires an urgent contract to support urgent delivery of a Housing Options System. The original tender was conducted in Oct 17 and awarded to the winning bidder in Feb 2018. The winning bidder agreed "GO Live" date of Sept 2018 for the full system. The homelessness module went live in April 18 but the remaining modules were not delivered by the agreed "Go Live" In March 2018 after a number of contractual breaches and a failure to deliver the full solution the Council agreed with the bidder to vary the contract and release the parties from the remaining contractual commitments. A competitive procedure and implementation will take 12 months, added to the 7 months delay to date this would delay the Council by 19 months, this is not acceptable and carries significant reputational risk. Civica have a mature and well developed solution that will only require a small amount of configuration to meet the needs of the Council, the Council has internal resources with Civica development skills. This will allow the Council to implement a solution within 6 months and to move at a fast pace utilising internal expertise and a Vendor with a significant pool of developers able to respond quickly and effectively to our needs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d2f4d076-7441-418e-a24b-68d1d9730d4c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 23 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 30 Apr 2024 | | 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 | BRADFORD METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Post town | Bradford | | Postcode | BD1 1HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 12 Apr 2019 at 11:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d2f4d076-7441-418e-a24b-68d1d9730d4c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d2f4d076-7441-418e-a24b-68d1d9730d4c 12th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
