They are planning to issue a tender titled "Services-Framework-Request for Services - Work Package C" within the services industry, specifically focusing on the supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The tender is currently in the planning stage, and interested parties are required to submit their expressions of interest by the closing date of 27th April 2021 at 12:00 PM. The buyer is looking specifically for third-party suppliers to provide various resources for their Digital Services projects, with a flexible approach to resourcing. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and staffing solutions, particularly those that can supply project managers, business analysts, and IT services. Companies with the capacity to provide skilled personnel quickly and flexibly will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The project aims to alleviate the pressure on United Utilities' internal resources by ensuring rapid onboarding and management of contracted personnel, which may facilitate engagement with both large and small consultancy firms capable of adapting to the demands of the procurement. ## Notice UU are looking for a third party who can provide adequate resources to our Digital Services projects when our internal pool is running low. We are looking for suppliers to provide the following: * Project Managers * Business Analysis * Business Change Managers * Architectures These resources may be required for a long or short period of time. Therefore the supplier would need to ensure they have the capacity and flexibility to be available when required. UU will be looking to purchase these resources on a day rate. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The purpose of this tender is to be able to obtain specialised resources for Digital Services projects who are able to start immediately, as and when required. Currently, Digital Services (IT) obtain temporary resource from an existing framework, these include roles for architecture, delivery, business change and other adhoc roles that may be required. There are a number of challenges with this approach: * Lack of flexibility - UU Digital Services take on staff on a full time basis, however often the resource is not required for a full 5 days a week, meaning the time is filled up on other non-value adding activities. * Management of staff - there is currently a significant overhead associated with engaging and managing agency contract resource for UU. * On boarding time - Current on boarding time is 6 - 8 weeks, however much of this timescale is due to UU processes and timescales. For the service we are looking for from the specialist supplier, UU will not have to follow the same process which would allow for a quicker on boarding process. Digital Services require a flexible resourcing service to accommodate requests that come in from other business areas such as Domestic Retail and Wholesale. UU resources are not always available to respond to the increased demand of projects. Once all resources have been deployed, and are in use on projects - UU then need to turn to a third party with a clear standard of expertise and knowledge to ensure the job is done effectively. If UU does not have this option in place, it will cause a backlog in projects and potentially bring some to a halt until resources are available. UU can procure people for a number of days as required and the management of the individuals deployed to UU will remain being managed by the supplier. We anticipate this tender will be published within the next few months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007787-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 14 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Sep 2021 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNITED UTILITIES WATER LIMITED | | Locality | WARRINGTON | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA5 3LP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD61 Warrington | | Local authority | Warrington | | Electoral ward | Great Sankey North and Whittle Hall | | Westminster constituency | Warrington South | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71220000 - Architectural design services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 79620000 - Supply services of personnel including temporary staff ## Release History - 14 Apr 2021 at 08:36 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007787-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.unitedutilities.com - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/43984 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
