title: Development and Live Support of the DWP Digital Children's Platform

status: active

description:
The contract was awarded as a call-off contract under the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 2 framework. It provided for a 2-year initial term from 1st October 2018 with a right for DWP to extend for a further period of up to 6 months, which was exercised in August 2020 and is currently due to expire on 31st March 2021.
This notice confirms that an extension of up to an additional 12 months to 31st March 2022 has become necessary to mitigate the high risk of disruption to the critical public services provided by CMG which are dependent on the CMS2012 application. The extension will allow for the delivery of key business and transformation initiatives to enable DWP to efficiently transition and exit from the contract.
Under the contract, the supplier provides digital teams for the Development and Live Support of the DWP Digital Children & Families service line technology estate, primarily the Child Maintenance Scheme (CMS) 2012 System which is underpinned by the CMS2012 application. Digital teams support the delivery of outcomes for required regular releases to deploy a range of additional business and technical requirements and provide live support to the production system, within a complex multi-application, multi-supplier environment, to ensure it remains current with legislation, operational and fit for use.
In addition, the contract supports all applications in the CMG IT estate which have interfaces to various other applications used within DWP. The CMG IT estate is integrated into the critical public services provided by DWP that UK citizens rely on for the payment of their benefit and pensions. Issues with the service continuity of CMG’s systems, including those supported under this contract, are likely to impact other areas of DWP service provision.
For these reasons, as explained below, DWP considers the proposed extension to be justifiable under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, namely Regulation 72(1)(b), 72(1)(c) and 72(1)(e)
Technical (including interoperability) reasons prevent a change of contractor: Significant elements of the CMG IT estate are based on tightly coupled, highly customised Commercial Off the Shelf products. Detailed functional knowledge of the customisations to support CMG’s processes is required in addition to product knowledge. This functional knowledge rests with the incumbent supplier. Transferring responsibility for managing, supporting and modifying the solution to another supplier without having completed CMG’s planned key business and transformation initiatives would therefore carry a high risk of disruption to service continuity, with elements that another supplier may be unable to support or replicate.
A change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience: Transition to a new supplier before 31 March 2021 would have led to inevitable service disruption of the critical public services delivered by the Child Maintenance Scheme (CMS) 2012 System which is underpinned by the CMS2012 application resulting in significant inconvenience to DWP.
Unforeseen circumstances:  The COVID-19 pandemic is an event that DWP could not have foreseen. The impact of COVID-19 resulted in the decision to extend the contract rather than re-compete during 2020 as COVID-19 delayed delivery of all CMG planned work.
No alteration in the overall nature of the contract: The variation will extend the length/increase the value of the contract but will not alter the nature of the contract.
Any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract: The maximum value for the extension period will be limited to £14.58m. The original published contract value was £36m, and the extension value will therefore fall within the 50% threshold.
No substantial change: Aside from length and value, there will be no changes made to the contract’s terms.

description:
The Child Maintenance Group (CMG) is responsible for obtaining maintenance from absent or non-resident parents and paying it to parents with care not in receipt of benefit. CMG depends on the Child Maintenance Scheme (CMS) 2012 System to deliver its services to customers.
The supplier currently provides an Application Development and Live Support service to the Department under a contract that is due to expire on 31st March 2021.
The primary purpose of the contract is to provide development and maintenance in relation to the core CMS2012 application so that it remains operational and fit for use. The CMS2012 application underpins the CMS 2012 System and enables the CMG's administration of child maintenance services. For context, 750k children are covered by 530k child maintenance service arrangements and £960m per annum in child maintenance is paid to parents with care. The CMS 2012 System also supports the processing of 6.5k applications per month by CMG through its various channels.
The services provided under the contract include the provision of delivery of products, projects and programmes, architecture strategy, product design, engineering and quality (build and test), service management and support/development/enhancement of application functionality to meet and deliver evolving business requirements.

procurementMethodRationale:
This extension is permissible under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, namely Regulation 72(1)(b), 72(1)(c) and 72(1)(e).
The extension has become necessary to accommodate CMG's changing requirements bought about by the impact of COVID-19. Services provided under the contract had to be refocused on COVID-19 related priorities, for example, to accelerate the enhancement of online channels to reduce the impact of caseworker redeployment to other areas of the Department's business (such as universal credit payment) and enable home working etc. This meant that the delivery of key business and transformation initiatives to enable the Department to safely transition and exit from the contract were delayed. An extension of up to 12 months will allow for delivery of these key projects and safe exit and transition from the contract.
Technical (including interoperability) reasons prevent a change of contractor.
Significant elements of the CMG IT estate are based on tightly coupled, highly customised Commercial Off the Shelf products. Detailed functional knowledge of the customisations to support CMG's processes is required in addition to product knowledge. This functional knowledge rests with the incumbent supplier. Transferring responsibility for managing, supporting and modifying the solution to another supplier without having completed CMG's planned key business and transformation initiatives would therefore carry a high risk of disruption to service continuity, with elements that another supplier may be unable to support or replicate.
The CMG IT estate also contains applications which have interfaces to various other applications used within the Department. The CMG IT estate is integrated into the critical public services provided by the Department that UK citizens rely on for the payment of their benefits and pensions. Issues with the service continuity of CMG systems is likely to impact other areas of DWP service provision, for example notifications of citizen changes of circumstance may not be fed through to other relevant services e.g. date of death and bereavement services.
A change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience: Transition to a new supplier before 31 March 2021 would have led to inevitable service disruption of the critical public services delivered by the Child Maintenance Scheme (CMS) 2012 System which is underpinned by the CMS2012 application resulting in significant inconvenience to the Department.

The Cranmer Education Trust
We are a growing school Trust in East Manchester. We are currently 3 forms of entry in our Oldham primary schools and by September 2022, we will be 3 large secondary schools, including a brand new free school, The Brian Clarke Church of England Academy. By September 2022 we will need to cater for approximately 2,800 secondary pupils, rising by 240 pupils each year as our new school grows. Whilst not part of this current tender, our Trust’s growth ambition is 10 forms of entry in our primary schools, all within East Manchester, by September 2023.  As a result of the exciting developments taking place within the Trust, we are currently seeking a catering partner to work with to initially provide a full, on-site catering service to 2 of our secondary schools within the Trust.  The Trust strives for good quality, ethically sourced, home-made meals, as cost effectively as possible and engagement in the food service is an important part of how we drive our improving standards in learning, curriculum and behaviour.  However, how we provide the food offering will need to be different at each of these sites and so we have given you the overview from each school’s perspective.
Please see SQ Document for further information.

The Tender
The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service within the existing facilities of all schools, with a focus on exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of pupil tastes and dietary requirements.  The Schools would wish the successful contractor to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly.
The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1st August 2021 to 31st July 2024 with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years at the discretion of the client. This contract will operate as a Guaranteed Performance Contract, with the successful Contractor offering the School a guaranteed return / cost per annum for the provision of catering services. Sovereignty of the cash tariff is to remain with the Trust for the duration of this contract.
The School year at all schools is based on a calendar of 195 days. Five days are to be used for staff professional development which means that School will be open to receive students for the legal minimum of 190 days.
The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all catering services within the School, which currently includes morning break (Junior School only), lunch, all hospitality and free issue requirements.  Free School meals are to be charged on consumption with a margin attached and hospitality will be charged based on consumption and at net food cost.
Whilst the Trust prioritises value for money as a key objective of the Competitive Tender Process, it is not obliged to accept the lowest price.
The Trust expects the successful contractor to enable the continued development of catering through the provision of an innovative, healthy food service, with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients being prepared on-site. The Trust expects the successful tenderer to evidence, through their bid, how they shall support and complement its values and support the principles of Every Child Matters.
The Trust believes that success should be celebrated and that pupils should enjoy their time at school; if lessons are stimulating and challenging then students will love learning.
As a school who are continually seeking ways to improve and develop the ethos and environment for students and staff, to give them the facilities they deserve and need to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, any consideration regarding inward capital investment as part of the Contractor’s tender submission would be welcomed.

In common with many other local authorities, Stoke-on-Trent City Council is facing significant challenges in establishing a stable financial position. After several years of streamlining services, the authority has taken the view that it needs a more fundamental evaluation of service delivery options. This includes which services it should be delivering and how those services should be delivered.
The Council is seeking to appoint specialist consultants to support this objective, through a framework. These comprise:
A single Strategic Transformation Partner (STP) (Lot 1)
Four specialist disciplines: Legal, Leisure, Social Care/Health; Digital Implementation (Lots 2-5). There will be a maximum of 3 specialist consultancies in each Lot, but the Council reserves the right to appoint as few as 1.
The STP will guide the overall transformation work, whilst appointing from the other suppliers (in Lots 2-5) on a call-off basis.
The framework is expected to commence on 30th September and be 3 years in duration maximum.

title: Implementation of a Covid secure scheme for businesses in Hertfordshire

description:
This project implements a pilot 'Covid secure' accreditation scheme in retail shops, hospitality and other non-essential businesses in Hertfordshire in Broxbourne.
There is evidence to suggest that transmission in supermarkets and food retail remains a problem and with the Government's roadmap to re-opening other hospitality and retail businesses from Spring 2021, there is an urgent need to ensure that businesses already open are compliant to a consistent set of standards and that for those due to re-open that they too are compliant and that consumers will have the confidence to use them when permitted. This would be achieved by registration, auditing and inspection of member businesses.
The arrangement would initially be for a pilot to be conducted in Broxbourne and if evaluation proves successful to continue to roll out the scheme across Hertfordshire. If the pilot is unsuccessful then the contract will be terminated by HCC.
Please see section V((award of contract) for further details) Additional information: The value of the initial pilot is £213,000. The value indicated in Section II.1.7 is for the total contract value, should the scheme be rolled out to the whole of the County of Hertfordshire.

description: Hertfordshire Trading Standards have been urgently requested by the Hertfordshire Health Protection Board to implement a Covid secure business accreditation scheme that seeks to impact on transmission rates of Covid 19 in supermarkets, grocers, hospitality and other non-essential retail businesses. The scheme will ensure businesses are adhering to a consistent set of Covid 19 prevention standards and aims to improve consumer confidence in those businesses.

description: Health and safety consultancy services

procurementMethodRationale:
Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) is relying on regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 in making this award without prior publication. Regulation 32(2)(c) permits such an award: "insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with."
For the reasons set out in II.1.4 and II.2.4, the extreme urgency relates to the need to ensure businesses are accredited now and as they re-open. If HCC fails to take steps to urgently ensure high levels of compliance, there is a real risk that transmissions will rise and put the county at risk of further local restrictions causing significant damage to the local economy and risking further negative impacts on residents.  The need to procure this service was unforeseeable given the fast moving nature of the COVID-19 response. A tender process would delay the implementation to a point when most businesses will already be opening. In respect of the requirement in Regulation 32(4) that the circumstances invoked to justify extreme urgency must not be attributable to the contracting authority, HCC considers that the urgency is due to the need to respond to public health risks and the timetable in the Government's reopening roadmap, neither of which are within the control of HCC.
A business accreditation scheme known as 'Safe To Trade' is currently offered by Shield Safety Group Ltd, an environmental health consultancy company with the capacity and staff to quickly roll out their scheme in any given area.
Shield Safety Group Ltd would operate and deliver this scheme on the Council's behalf thereby relieving the local authority of large scale inspection burdens whilst at the same time maintaining confidence in standards and helping to reduce transmission of Covid 19 by achieving greater compliance with set guidelines.
If evaluation of the pilot proves successful, the scheme will be rolled out across Hertfordshire in an expeditious way. In expanding the scheme county-wide as quickly as possible during the Government's roadmap it will be important to maintain a consistent high-quality auditing process, public communications and joint branding approach that will be established before and during the pilot phase. Furthermore, to ensure the scheme will be effective county-wide, it is essential to provide continuity to businesses and consumers by maintaining the working processes with the one provider partnered with during the initial pilot and not risk confusing businesses and consumers with the inevitable changes in auditing and communications that would result. For these reasons the provider which carries out the pilot also needs to carry out the county-wide scheme.
The length of the contract is expected to be relatively short particularly if transmission rates fall and mitigation measures required by businesses reduce later in the year.  The arrangement is therefore restricted to what is absolutely necessary.
