The procurement involves Microsoft support services to boost productivity and operational efficiency. The engagement's end date for potential suppliers is March 15, 2024. This tender by Homes England presents an opportunity for IT service providers specialised in consulting, software development, and internet support. Businesses with expertise in digital transformation services and experience in delivering flexible and scalable solutions would be well-suited to compete in this pre-market engagement. The location for service delivery is in England, United Kingdom. ## Notice Homes England is currently undergoing an organisation-wide transformation which will improve and evolve the way in which all business areas (customer facing and back office) deliver their services to its customers (internal and external). At the centre of this transformation is an aspiration to become a more flexible and scalable, digitally enabled organisation, enabling Homes England to realise benefits from: - Increasing productivity and value for money. - Improving the delivery of services to customers and users, - Reducing the organisation's exposure to risk, and - Enabling the organisation to deliver its mission and strategic objectives. The transformation of Homes England is underway and will run as a funded portfolio of work until March 2025, although the evolution of Homes England will continue beyond the programme end date, as part of a continuous improvement approach to organisational change. As a result of this, our Digital function has a requirement to secure Supplier(s) who can provide us with a range of support services. These are specific capabilities that: - We do not have in-house, or - We do have in-house but not at the capacity required, or - Are not suitable/appropriate for an organisation of our size/profile to hold internally. This Pre-Market Engagement is not a call to competition. The aims of this engagement are to: - Alert potential suppliers to the forthcoming opportunity which will be advertised through the appropriate procurement channel(s). - Set out the indicative timetable for the procurement. - Outline the key objectives for the forthcoming procurement. - Gain feedback from the market to inform the upcoming procurement exercise. https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=10d77524-08d7-ee11-8127-005056b64545&p=315ec497-7ab1-e611-8118-000c29c9ba21 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44cdea97-59c9-4078-a33d-fea6eaaf5bd2 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Feb 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Mar 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOMES ENGLAND (THE NAME ADOPTED BY THE HOMES AND COMMUNITIES AGENCY) | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE4 5BZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Arthur's Hill | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 29 Feb 2024 at 14:01 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44cdea97-59c9-4078-a33d-fea6eaaf5bd2 - 29 Feb 2024 at 13:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d123c53-0538-4159-9dfa-bb0bfab09584 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44cdea97-59c9-4078-a33d-fea6eaaf5bd2 29th February 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d123c53-0538-4159-9dfa-bb0bfab09584 29th February 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=10d77524-08d7-ee11-8127-005056b64545&p=315ec497-7ab1-e611-8118-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/homes-england ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
