Located in Edinburgh, the procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a notice issued on 23rd September 2019. The purpose of this procurement is to identify contractors who can assist in redesigning the security rostering system, focusing on flexible shift patterns and technology solutions. Interested providers should note that a future notice date has been set for 1st January 2020, indicating the timeline for further developments. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in workforce management and technology solutions for shift planning. Companies offering training and software development tailored to shift rostering needs will find this an ideal project to engage with. Given the focus on flexibility and innovation in rostering practices, businesses with a strong understanding of staff welfare and operational efficiency in high-demand sectors will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) wishes to appoint a Contractor to advise the Security Office on their rostering system, including designing new flexible shift patterns and provision of technology solutions and training. The purpose of this PIN is to identify potential providers in the market who have the relevant experience and capability to deliver this requirement. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) wishes to appoint a Contractor to advise the Security Office on their rostering system. The Contractor will take a collaborative approach with the client, staff, and trade union side to design a variety of flexible shift patterns to fit with the Parliamentary calendar, fluctuating demand including the potential for seasonal changes, and staff welfare. The initial objective is to move away from flat profile rostering (for example, a 4 days/nights on 4 days/nights off pattern of 12 hour shifts) and include options for more flexible working (for example part-time options, seasonal working etc.). The SPCB also requires training and tools to provide an understanding of the principles of shift pattern design to enable in-house reviews including modelling and testing future shift patterns using headcount and scenario planning. It is envisioned that this will include a technology solution and the Contractor will either provide independent support and guidance to develop a Specification to procure a rules-based software system, or provide a software system which can be tailored to the SPCB's requirements. The software system will ideally be cloud-based, be able to integrate with the incumbent time recording system, and be a subscription-based model. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP366872 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jan 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH PARLIAMENTARY CORPORATE BODY | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH99 1SP | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72220000 - Systems and technical consultancy services - 72246000 - Systems consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79411000 - General management consultancy services - 79414000 - Human resources management consultancy services - 79418000 - Procurement consultancy services ## Release History - 23 Sep 2019 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP366872 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP366872 Secuirty Rostering Consultancy - The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) wishes to appoint a Contractor to advise the Security Office on their rostering system, including designing new flexible shift patterns and provision of technology solutions and training.
