This procurement falls under the education industry and is currently at the award stage, having determined to contract with Capita Business Services for support and maintenance services for the UNIT-e Student Management Information System. The total contract cost is £174,104 for a duration of two years, starting from 1st August 2018. The procurement was initiated without prior publication due to the specific technical needs which only the chosen supplier can fulfil. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational software support and maintenance, particularly those experienced with Student Management Information Systems. Companies that can demonstrate technical expertise and have capacity for ongoing support could benefit greatly from this contract with Ayrshire College. As the institution aims to maintain continuity in its current systems amidst budget constraints, it is optimal for businesses with existing partnerships or licences to provide similar services, ensuring a competitive edge in the tendering process. ## Notice This is a voluntary ex ante transparency notice. This notice is to indicate that Ayrshire College intends to contract with Capita Business Services for the provision of support and maintenance services for UNIT-e, Student Management Information System. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. This notice is to indicate that Ayrshire College intends to contract with Capita Business Services the provision of support and maintenance services for UNIT-e, Student Management Information System (MIS). This service has a total cost of GBP 174,104 for 2 years. The contract start date is 1st August 2018. Ayrshire College holds a perpetual licence to access and use UNIT-e and associated software with Capita Business Services. Capita owns and has exclusive rights in respect of all intellectual property rights in the College's current Student MIS and Capita Business Services is, therefore, the only provider able to meet the College's need for continued support and maintenance of the MIS. ### Procurement Information The services can only be provided by a particular provider for reasons that are technical, connected with the protection of exclusive rights and the need to purchase services which cannot be provided separately other than as an addition to the services originally provided by the supplier. Due to the high costs of a new Student MI and budget constraints, business continuity can only be maintained with Capita Business Services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL325900 | | Notice type | OJEU - F25 - Concession Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Jul 2018 | | 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 | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | AYRSHIRE COLLEGE | | Locality | KILMARNOCK | | Post town | Kilmarnock | | Postcode | KA1 3HY | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM93 North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire | | Local authority | East Ayrshire | | Electoral ward | Kilmarnock West and Crosshouse | | Westminster constituency | Kilmarnock and Loudoun | | Delivery location | TLM93 North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72253200 - Systems support services ## Release History - 19 Jul 2018 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F25 - Concession Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL325900 - 4 Jul 2018 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL324391 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL324391 Student Management Information System Support and Maintenance - This is a voluntary ex ante transparency notice.
