## Summary

The Scottish Government is inviting tenders for the project titled "Services to Develop SPM". This opportunity falls under the general public services category and is based in Glasgow, UK. The current procurement stage is the tender phase, with submissions due by 29th October 2018. The procurement will be conducted through a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, allowing only pre-qualified suppliers to submit tenders. The project focuses on enhancing the IBM Social Program Management Platform for the transition of disability benefits to Scottish Ministers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social programme management, IT integration, and software development, particularly those with experience in handling complex social security systems. Companies with a strong background in public sector projects and a track record of working with multidisciplinary teams would be well-positioned to bid. Furthermore, the project encourages community benefits, indicating potential for subcontracting initiatives and engagement with the local workforce, further paving the way for business growth in the Scottish market.

## Notice

Social Security Scotland is the new social security agency in Scotland. Responsibility for some social security benefits is transferring from the UK Government to Scottish Ministers on a phased basis over the next few years. Social Security Scotland has already invested in a case management platform, IBM's Social Program Management (SPM) Platform, for the first wave of benefits, and work is already underway to develop, configure and integrate SPM for those first benefits. We now require support to develop, configure and integrate SPM for the disability benefits that will transfer to Scottish Ministers. The disability benefits are more complex than the benefits that are being delivered in the first wave and will require more sophisticated configuration of SPM and greater levels of integration between SPM and other systems. The supplier will work as part of a multidisciplinary delivery team alongside Scottish Government resource and other suppliers.
