## Summary

The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting a procurement process titled "SOL - Oracle Cloud Systems Integrator" in the industry category of software integration consultancy services. This procurement is currently in the award stage with an active contract awarded to Version 1 Solutions Ltd, valued at £1,300,000, signed on 1st July 2021. The process has followed a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, due to the need for additional deliveries and services from the original supplier. The contract's end date has been extended to 31st December 2022, and delivery will take place in the UK region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software integration and consultancy, especially those with experience in implementing cloud solutions and managing payroll systems. Companies capable of taking on additional roles in data migration and payroll testing will be particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's complexities driven by an increase in the number of Academy payrolls as schools undergo academisation. Businesses with a strong track record of working with public sector contracts may find this a lucrative opportunity for further growth.

## Notice

For additional deliveries by the incumbent systems integrator to implement the Oracle cloud solution

### Lot Information

Lot 1

SMBC is undertaking a negotiated procedure without prior publication to award the contract to the incumbent supplier, Version 1. This procurement has been conducted pursuant to Regulation 32 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 - Negotiated procedure without prior publication (5b): - The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public supply contracts- (b) for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.

Options: 135 additional days contingency extension at end of contract end date, as per terms and conditions of original contract

### Procurement Information

Negotiated without a prior call for competition * Additional deliveries by the original supplier Explanation: This procurement is conducted pursuant to Public Contracts Regulation 2015 - regulation 32, (5)(b): 'for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance;' Additional deliveries are now required by the original supplier due to a change of ownership with some of the delivery responsibilities, a potential increase in the number of payrolls and an extension to the delivery timeline to that currently in place with the supplier, within the existing contract. The change in responsibilities now includes additional services for Version 1 to take a more significant role with data migration and payroll testing. A potential increase in number of the payrolls being delivered is due to the academisation of schools. The additional services and support together with the extended timeline for delivery of the project, has resulted in additional costs. These are an extension of existing supplies , as per regulation 32(5)(b), a change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties - as we would then have 2 different suppliers trying to implement and deliver the same project, which is not feasible and would duplicate costs.
