The project is at the planning stage with an engagement end date of 02 August 2024. Interested suppliers are encouraged to join the CCS Spark DPS RM6094 framework and attend a supplier engagement event on 6th August 2024. The project aims to consolidate various approaches using machine-learning methods. This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs specializing in software programming, consultancy services, data services, and miscellaneous software packages to grow their business. Suppliers are advised to familiarize themselves with the project documentation, follow the onboarding process to the DPS framework, and participate in the supplier engagement event to understand the wider requirement and potentially engage in further discussions with the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology. ## Notice The Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT) anticipates it will shortly launch a procurement for an organisation to produce a list of companies for several DSIT sectors and subsequently assist in the development of economic statistics describing these sectors. DSIT is responsible for some of the UK's most dynamic and developing sectors. These sectors tend to be poorly served by Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes, so traditional SIC-based methods for developing statistics on their size and health have limited applicability. Teams across DSIT have experimented with solutions to this issue, which has spawned multiple approaches. DSIT's central analysis directorate is undertaking a project with the aim of consolidating and replacing these approaches with one that uses machine-learning methods. For this procurement, we intend to use the following framework: CCS Spark DPS RM6094. Interested suppliers can join this framework, with instructions found here in Annex 1 attached to this notice. Crown Commercial Services, who operate the framework, advise it can take up to 15 days from application to registration on the framework. On the 6th August 2024 (exact time to be confirmed), we will host a session with suppliers who have registered an interest in this procurement. Within this session, we will provide further information on this procurement and the wider requirement and give suppliers an opportunity to ask questions. Following the session, we may hold individual 1-2-1 meetings with interested suppliers to further discuss the procurement if this is required. This notice aims to inform potential suppliers of our intention to procure via framework and our upcoming supplier engagement event. All potential suppliers are encouraged to review the documentation attached to this notice that provides further details of this pre market engagement session. This includes further information as to how to submit your expression of interest. Additional information: Potential suppliers are required to follow the guidance in the attached Prior Information document that outlines how expressions of interest can be made for this supplier day. Any potential supplier is encouraged to begin the application process to onboard to the DPS as outlined in Annex 1 to allow ample time to work with CCS and their partners through the onboarding process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/df3472e0-5d29-4324-b3c3-b8e4bb335489 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement 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 | 19 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Aug 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 | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1UH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48600000 - Database and operating software package - 48900000 - Miscellaneous software package and computer systems - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services - 72300000 - Data services ## Release History - 19 Jul 2024 at 11:49 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/df3472e0-5d29-4324-b3c3-b8e4bb335489 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/df3472e0-5d29-4324-b3c3-b8e4bb335489 19th July 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d89820cd-af50-4f7d-9827-ed8aee0287d1 Supplier Day Information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5f79422c-9e99-4dfd-a1ca-f2c436f1bd14 Onboarding to RM6094 SPARKS DPS information for suppliers ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
