The event is scheduled to take place at The Kia Oval in Kennington, London, on the 18th or 19th of May 2017, from 10:30 to 16:00. Cafcass is looking to engage suppliers early in the process as it seeks to renew or replace its core IT services over the next 12 to 18 months. The anticipated procurement route may utilise the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework, specifically the Technology Services 2 framework, although other compliant methods may also be considered. Interested suppliers should note that the engagement ends on the 23rd of February 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those offering consulting, software development, and support services. Companies that specialise in core IT solutions such as service desk support, network connectivity, or cloud application management would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process allows businesses to potentially establish a long-term partnership with Cafcass, a key player in Children's and Family court advisory services, thereby contributing to their growth and service expansion. ## Notice Supplier Event Date 18th or 19th May 2017 10:30 to 16:00 Location The Kia Oval, Kennington, London, SE11 5SS The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Services (Cafcass) is in the process of renewing or replacing some of its IT services over the next 12-18 months and is keen to engage with suppliers at an early stage. We are ideally looking for a sole supplier to provide core IT services, since we have already disaggregated a number of key services from the core contract. Core IT services include service desk and support, desktop services, network connectivity, cloud application management, service management, IMACs, training etc. We are anticipating using the CCS framework Technology Services 2, but may adopt another procurement route providing it is compliant with public procurement regulations. Register your company's interest in attending a supplier day to meet Cafcass and understand the services required; and provide your feedback to help us make the process as effective as possible. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5578f4dd-7bd1-4c3b-84ae-19bac37b563f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | 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 | CAFCASS | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV4 7JJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | Wainbody | | Westminster constituency | Coventry South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## 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 May 2017 at 13:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5578f4dd-7bd1-4c3b-84ae-19bac37b563f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5578f4dd-7bd1-4c3b-84ae-19bac37b563f 5th May 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=b7f3b0f1-8431-e711-80e0-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cafcass.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
