## Summary

The IT Service Transition Project, valued at £45,000, was procured by West Dorset District Council for interim support during the transition of IT services. This award is part of the IT Service Convergence Project, aimed at managing risks associated with the change in structure. The procurement was classified under business and management consultancy services (CPV code 79400000) and was executed through a direct award exemption from the standard procurement rules. The contract period commenced on 12th February 2018 and will run until 12th May 2018, with the tender period having ended on 1st February 2018.

This contract presents an opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), that specialise in IT services and management consultancy. Businesses with a strong portfolio in assisting local government organisations with IT transitions, risk management, and service optimisation would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders similar to this project. The involvement of multiple local councils in the procurement indicates a collaborative approach, suggesting that firms with local knowledge and experience in public sector projects may have a distinct advantage.

## Notice

As part of the IT Service Convergence Project, some interim support is required to facilitate the service to transition from the old structure to new structure and to help address the associated risks. Procured by West Dorset District Council on behalf of itself, North Dorset District Council and Weymouth & Portland Borough Council.
