This active tender is currently in the planning stage, with a publication date of 18th February 2020. The deadline for submissions is set for 4th March 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 23rd March 2020, lasting until 30th April 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £20,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure, adhering to the Open Contracting Data Standard. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in consultancy services related to identity and access management, IT services, and software development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these fields are well-positioned to compete for this contract, as the project requires independent advice to assist Companies House in refining their procurement specifications and making informed commercial decisions. ## Notice Companies House intend to transform our identity and access management capabilities during the next two years. We are currently in the Discovery stage of this work, having developed a good understanding of the problem we are trying to solve, carried out initial user research and analysed our current identity infrastructure. In order to help us progress to the next stage, we have identified the need for consultancy services to explore and challenge our current thinking, help us articulate our requirements and assist in writing a procurement specification in order to procure the right services and components. This is a specialised area, and we require independent specialist advice on our intended approach and to help us make the right decisions. While we have developed a good understanding of the identity domain and have built a network of expertise across Government, we cannot rely on this alone to develop a sufficiently robust specification of our requirements in order to take procurement to the next stage. We need the experience and expertise of specialists who have been through this process before and are independent of any commercial suppliers. This will allow time during March for the procurement specification to be developed, and for procurement activity to begin as early as possible in the 2020/2021 financial year. Companies House will be transforming our identity and access management capabilities during the next two years. This is a specialised area, and we require independent specialist advice on our intended approach and to help us make the right commercial decisions. A business justification case for the project as a whole is in the early stages of drafting. The independent consultant will assist with this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed0febdb-1c16-4528-9e08-a6f7a2a2e31a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 4 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Mar 2020 - 30 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COMPANIES HOUSE | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF14 3UZ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Gabalfa | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | 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 - 18 Feb 2020 at 09:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed0febdb-1c16-4528-9e08-a6f7a2a2e31a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed0febdb-1c16-4528-9e08-a6f7a2a2e31a 18th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e94c4df0-889b-41e4-9007-b78368d008ae ITT Document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
