This procurement, categorised under IT services and software development, is taking place in Mexico City, and the tender period concludes on 22nd November 2019. The contract is expected to start on 9th December 2019 and will last until 28th February 2020, with a contract value ranging from £10,000 to £20,000. The procurement method is a competitive quotation, targeting service providers that can implement the Open Contracting Data Standard in collaboration with the Mexican government. This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT consulting, software development, and digital innovation services. Businesses equipped to support the technical implementation of procurement systems can leverage this opportunity to expand their market reach and engage in a project that aligns with global standards for transparency and accountability in public procurement. Additionally, firms proficient in knowledge transfer and capacity building would be particularly well-suited to contribute to this initiative. ## Notice The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the Authority), represented by the British Embassy in Mexico City, seeks to appoint one Service Supplier to provide strategic and technical support for the implementation of the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) in procurement platforms currently under development with the Mexican federal government and the State of Mexico City government (CDMX). The work will be undertaken under the supervision of the Global Digital Marketplace Programme's Latin America Regional team (Product and Delivery manager) with the support from the British Embassy in Mexico City, through regular planning and review meetings with the delivery partner to ensure that the work aligns with the programme vision and objectives, and review progress against these. Active knowledge transfer is a deliverable to occur between a technical specialist on OCDS implementation and the procurement system development team in order to build capability to continue OCDS implementation for the continued development of the procurement system. The primary beneficiary of this project will be the Federal Government of Mexico - Ministry of Finance (Hacienda); and the Government of the City of Mexico State (CDMX) - Digital Agency/ Agencia Digital de Innovacion Publica (ADIP). Also, the Executive Secretariat of the National Anti-Corruption System (SESNA) is a secondary beneficiary as the currently live National Digital Platform (PDN) system has a dependency to aggregate data in which OCDS standards are followed. A final report with key recommendations is expected to be delivered to the GDMP team as part of the knowledge transfer and handover at the end of the present engagement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38095f89-0616-43c1-82b6-de9d3515c2ac | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Dec 2019 - 28 Feb 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | FOREIGN & COMMONWEALTH OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## 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 - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 8 Nov 2019 at 21:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38095f89-0616-43c1-82b6-de9d3515c2ac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38095f89-0616-43c1-82b6-de9d3515c2ac 8th November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cf00e93b-0117-42bc-97ed-cc6aea8ea8c5 Request for Quotation - Bidding Documents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
