This procurement falls under the IT services industry and has a total value of £32,432. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action below threshold, with the award published on 5th July 2019. The contract commenced on 17th June 2019 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2019, covering delivery to various locations including the United Kingdom and overseas territories. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in IT services, software development, and data management solutions. Companies with expertise in upgrading legacy systems and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, such as GDPR, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find it advantageous, given the nature of the direct procurement method used. ## Notice - There are two phases. Firstly, the current M-Store system (version 2) will be upgraded to the most up to date version (3). This will allow SSCL to continue their duties as our supplier under the MyCSP queries. - Secondly, DWP need the data extracted fully from the system. This will allow the raw files (mostly scanned documents) to be exported from the system. This will then allow the use of the in house document repository service (DRS) to store these files in a strategic sense. - M-Store is a key legacy system that is currently out of support in terms of software. - This is a high priority for the department for many reasons. There are GDPR implications. Currently DWP are constrained by the weeding mandate from Cabinet Office. When this is lifted there must be GDPR controls in place - this work allows us to achieve this. - Furthermore, there is over 600GB of personnel files within M-Store that is at risk of data corruption due to the age of the system. A loss of this nature would result in MyCSP queries being estimated which can cause the department severe financial issues due to overestimations. - Similarly, if the data was to be lost i.e. file corruption or system failure then the department may face a loss of reputation This work must be carried out by IPC because they are the owner of the M-Store system. This was a bespoke system commissioned many years ago and IPC are the only company with the expertise to complete the work required. Technical architects looked into the possibility of using other companies but the result of that investigation was that IPC is the only option with the necessary knowledge of the system. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23e86dd7-54db-4b04-b604-c5b53477a24a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Jun 2019 | | Contract period | 16 Jun 2019 - 30 Sep 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,432 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £32,432 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4EP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE IMAGE PROCESSING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 5 Jul 2019 at 12:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23e86dd7-54db-4b04-b604-c5b53477a24a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23e86dd7-54db-4b04-b604-c5b53477a24a 5th July 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/32f5cb3b-1ea9-456c-8ffd-18ef8ca432ea n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
