The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following a tender period that commenced on 11th July 2017 and concluded on 10th July 2018. This project aims to establish an Enterprise Architecture capability to manage architectural artefacts effectively, ensuring they are centrally stored, version-controlled, and analysable for change support and governance. The awarded contract has a value of £37,250 and allows for optional year extensions. This tender presents significant business opportunities for providers of enterprise architecture tools and IT consultancy services. Businesses that specialize in application service provision, software development, or IT project management would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Furthermore, those with comprehensive solutions related to managing and analysing architectural artefacts are encouraged to engage, as the Scottish Qualifications Authority aims to enhance its business systems through this vital capability. ## Notice SQA is currently building an Enterprise Architecture capability within Business Systems. This capability is supported by an Enterprise Architecture framework that defines the types of content that need to be captured to allow SQA to fully document its overall enterprise from Business to Technology.Work has already been undertaken to produce a number of stand-alone architectural artefacts but as the number of these grow in line with project deliveries the ability to maintain a repository of artefacts will become increasingly unmanageable. Additionally there will be no ability to meaningfully publish these artefacts or undertake any analysis to support architecture governance.An Enterprise Architecture tool will support the following key requirements for SQA1. Allow architecture artefacts to be held in a central repository and be versioned controlled to create a "single source or truth"2. Allow the content of the artefacts to be analysed to undertake "what if" scenario planning to support architecture change.3. Support the creation of technology and business roadmaps for the service and support systems.4. Provide on-going support to the governance of Business and IT change programmes by supporting the documentation of full end to end business to technology usage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB309250 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Oct 2017 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £37,250 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH QUALIFICATIONS AUTHORITY | | Additional buyers | DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY COMMISSION; GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART; LINSTONE HOUSING; MORAY COUNCIL; NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND; NHS HIGHLAND C/O NSS HEALTH FACILITIES SCOTLAND; NHS LANARKSHIRE; PAISLEY HOUSING ASSOCIATION; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH POLICE AUTHORITY; STIRLING COUNCIL; THE STATE HOSPITALS BOARD FOR SCOTLAND; UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 7AT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Clydesdale East | | Westminster constituency | Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 50 | | Supplier names | A.C.
