These providers are drawn from the private sector, academia and third sector. This PIN is not for the opportunity to join the ecosystem as a provider. Potential providers interested in joining ACE's ecosystem today are encouraged to visit www.vivace.tech to understand more and make contact by registering their interest. A member of the team will get in touch and explain the next steps. A key part of the PSP's services will be to engage the ecosystem of potential suppliers to explore and develop potential solutions to problem statements developed by users of ACE, though projects (known as 'commissions'). The PSP will also be expected to keep the membership of the provider ecosystem under review so that it can always collectively supply the breadth and depth of contemporary products, services and know-how which will provide competitive, cost-effective, timely and innovate insights and solutions to these commissions. Users (or 'customers') of ACE are from, but not limited to, the public sector. The PSP will be expected to manage the overall delivery of these customers' commissions, fulfilled by combined provider teams drawn from the ecosystem, assuring this delivery to the satisfaction of ACE and its customers, noting the ecosystem providers are expected to be responsible for the supply of the subject matter of the commissioned work (e.g. products, know-how and services). The PSP will further be expected to act as a neutral party, when engaging with the ecosystem, enabling ACE's customers to access a wide variety of providers to explore and develop potential solutions for their problem statements. Once selected, to protect this neutrality, it is expected that the organisation which establishes the PSP will not be permitted to participate in the provider ecosystem. To carry out these delivery management and assurance activities, the PSP will be expected to bring together a multidisciplinary team covering, but not limited to, the disciplines of project management, delivery assurance, supply chain relationship management and delivery quality assurance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005352-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Sep 2022 - 28 Oct 2025 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75000000 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 25 Feb 2022 at 22:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005352-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
