## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council has recently awarded a contract titled "ICT Digital Services and Transformation," aimed at providing Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Services and Transformation for a further five years. This procurement was initiated through a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, to extend the established partnership with CGI. The contract, valued at £30,000,000, was signed on 9th October 2020, with the delivery location specified as the Scottish Borders region in the UK. This process is now complete, having followed procurement regulations and administrative details established under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in IT services, particularly those specialising in digital transformation, long-term technology solutions, and ICT support services. Companies capable of providing innovative digital services that cater to public sector needs will be well-positioned to compete. The flexibility required to meet ongoing and evolving demands within the realm of public service provision makes this contract particularly attractive for not only large suppliers like CGI but also smaller enterprises that can demonstrate relevant expertise and agility in the ICT sector.

## Notice

The provision of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Services and Transformation to Scottish Borders Council. The Council has extended the current established partnership and related contract with CGI by a further 5 years to take advantage of long term transformative opportunities and technologies to deliver the best possible outcomes for the Scottish Borders.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council has extended the current established partnership and related contract with CGI by a further 5 years to meet long term future challenges, to take advantage of new transformative opportunities and so to deliver the best possible outcomes for the Scottish Borders. The Council recognises the adverse effect of the current pandemic on the economy and the resulting uncertainty for the longer term. This contract extension will minimise the effect of this on both employees and the community by providing security in relation to ongoing services and delivering transformation opportunities through long term investment in the Digital Borders programme.

### Procurement Information

The original City of Edinburgh contract award notice, 2014/S 024-038205, noted the scope of ICT Services to be delivered as including all ICT services presently delivered, those contemplated to be delivered by 2016 and all future ICT requirements of the City of Edinburgh Council and the contracting authorities named in the original Contract Notice. It further noted a requirement for a contract which is sufficiently flexible and scalable so as to provide a long-term resolution that offers significant future-proofing. The estimated value excluding VAT was noted to be in the range: between 150 000 000 and 2 000 000 000 GBP. Scottish Borders Council is one of three of the named authorities currently contracted pursuant to the arrangements awarded under 2014/S024-038205 with an overall anticipated spend well within the value range notified to the market in 2014 (SBC substantive contract awarded 2016 for a period of 13 years with optional 6 year extension and a likely spend of 179m GBP) such that the additional scope and spend remains an application of the original terms within the scope of the original contract notice. This ensures the requirements of EC Directive 2004/18/C as incorporated into Scots Law by the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 are met.
