This procurement falls under the industry category of "Industry specific software package" and relates to IT services including consulting, software development, and support. The tender process employed a competitive procedure with negotiation, fitting within the selective procurement method. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract period spanning from 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2029, coinciding with key dates such as the tender period ending on 1 October 2024. The procurement ensures the implementation of cloud-based ERP systems and ancillary services across multiple government departments including HMRC, the Department for Transport (DfT), and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), all centralised at the location with postal code SW1A 2BQ. This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies in the IT services sector, including software development, and systems integration services. SMEs are particularly well-suited to compete, as the procurement strategy shows suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded contract, valued at £120,039,159 GBP, has been secured by Deloitte LLP, indicating significant professional and technical service requisites essential for the transformation and integration of the ERP systems. Businesses specialising in ERP solutions, financial systems, procurement software, HR and payroll services will find ample development and long-term project opportunities within this extensive five-year engagement. ## Notice In March 2021, Government Business Services launched the 'Shared Services Strategy for Government (SSfG): 2022 and Beyond'. This strategy created the concept of five clusters of departments, each cluster sharing a common set of process, common cloud-based ERP and ancillary systems and a single shared service centre to deliver corporate services across Finance, Procurement, Human Resources (HR) and Payroll. This direction has led each cluster to set up a programme team with associated governance and steering oversight to: 1. Combine the process design and operational model thinking to deliver a centralised single shared service model; and 2. Define and deliver a standard systems architecture that can support the in-scope business process (Finance, Procurement, HR and Payroll). The Unity Cluster programme has been commissioned to deliver the SSfG strategy for the following Departments and their associated agencies and relevant Arms Length Bodies (ALBs): * HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC); * Department for Transport (DfT); and * Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) The objectives of the Unity programme are to: * Design and operate a centralised Finance, Procurement, HR and Payroll shared service function; * Operate a standard set of processes that are fit for the purposes of all Unity Departments; * Design, build, deploy and operate a standard, single set of systems that are scaled to the future and that deliver performant services underpinning the business processes; and * Migrate data from the Unity Departments' existing systems to the new target Unity systems such that each business process continues to operate without disruption. This procurement has been awarded to procure the services (i.e. technical professional services) that are required to enable the technical transformation of the Unity cluster. The Authority has awarded a contract to a Technical Delivery Partner delivering systems integration services, on behalf of the departments within the Unity Programme, to ensure the delivery of high quality, value for money (VfM), shared Finance, Procurement, HR and Payroll services which meet the needs of service users. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/634ab935-1a12-4fea-b5f3-c00c7d9bd81a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 1 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2024 - 31 Oct 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,039,159 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £120,039,159 | | 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 | H M REVENUE & CUSTOMS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BQ | | 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DELOITTE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48217000 - Transaction-processing software package - 48219300 - Administration software package - 48441000 - Financial analysis software package - 48442000 - Financial systems software package - 48450000 - Time accounting or human resources software package - 48490000 - Procurement software package - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79211110 - Payroll management services - 79211120 - Sales and purchases recording services - 79631000 - Personnel and payroll services ## Release History - 15 Nov 2024 at 16:33 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/634ab935-1a12-4fea-b5f3-c00c7d9bd81a - 15 Nov 2024 at 12:07 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/634ab935-1a12-4fea-b5f3-c00c7d9bd81a - 15 Nov 2024 at 12:02 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/634ab935-1a12-4fea-b5f3-c00c7d9bd81a - 15 Nov 2024 at 11:59 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/634ab935-1a12-4fea-b5f3-c00c7d9bd81a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/634ab935-1a12-4fea-b5f3-c00c7d9bd81a 15th November 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/602155/SAP_Ariba_Sourcing_Professional_Suppliers_Guide_-_March_2017.pdf Guidance to bidders on how to register on HMRC's Ariba e-Sourcing system - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6164ba57-23b9-46ea-afee-12efb0668cb6 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
