The estimated total contract value over the maximum term is PS2bn. This figure is an estimate and may not reflect actual spend, which will be predicated on programme delivery. Detail of the Competitive Flexible process for the procurement is set out below: The initial stage that will be open to all interested parties is the Conditions of Participation, which will be looking to assess bidders on their technical and economic ability to deliver the contract. The Conditions of Participation will include a scored procurement specific questionnaire and the intention is that the five top scoring bidders will be taken through to the next stage. The Invitation to Submit Initial Tender (ITSIT) will assess bidders on a range of key award criteria including, but not limited to, functional and non-functional requirements, innovation, social value, price, terms and conditions and product demonstrations. The intention is that the three top scoring bidders will be taken through to negotiation. The negotiations will enable the Authority to clarify and improve the tenders submitted at ITSIT stage. The process will also enable bidders to develop a more detailed understanding of the Authority's requirements. As part of the final stage, the Invitation to Submit Final Tender (ITSFT), bidders will have an opportunity to improve their bid based on the output of negotiations and the feedback provided from the ITSIT. The winning bidder from the ITSFT will be the Authorities preferred bidder, and will be awarded the contract, subject to agreement upon contract terms and the completion of any further due diligence which is deemed necessary. HMRC reserve the right to refine the award criteria of the CFP in accordance with Section 24 of the Act. HMRC also reserve the right to modify the CFP in accordance with Section 31 of the Act." }, "aboveThreshold": true, "coveredBy": [ "GPA", "CPTPP" ], "submissionMethodDetails": "Supplier's who wish to participate must follow the steps below in order to access the CRM event in the Authority's instance of SAP Ariba, where supplier's will be able to view the tender documentation and respond to the Authority.

A situation wherein the bidder is subject to a merger or acquisition which results in a material change to the approach to contract delivery, for example the resulting organisation no longer suits the Authority's ongoing or future needs or places too much risk on the Authority's existing agreements. Due to the longer-term nature of the contract and the speed of development and change in this sector, there is a potential risk that the scope of the requirements stated in the contract are not broad enough to have captured any and all future developments and innovations and as such there may be a need to modify the contract in future to ensure that these developments are made available to the Authority as the contract progresses or the Authority risks tie-in to legacy software that will cease to deliver the expected benefit of this procurement, particularly in cases where such software may no longer be supported which would prevent the bidder from being able to perform its obligations under contract." }, "language": "en" }
