reviewDetails:
The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority despatches the VEAT notice and the date on which the Authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement.

The bringing of court proceedings against the authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise, the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.

description:
Lot 1 – Specific Digital Courses
These courses will be aimed at providing participants with a clear pathway to a specific career within the Digital sector. High level, specific and technical digital skills remain crucial to the West Yorkshire economy. Within this lot the CA is looking to procure specialist providers who can deliver training for specific skills within the digital sector, including complex analytical skills, advanced IT skills and job specific skills and knowledge. The skills that employers find most difficult to obtain from applicants are principally specialist, job-specific digital skills which hinder firm level productivity and wider economic growth.

title: Broad Digital Courses

description:
Lot 2 – Broad Digital Courses
These courses have the aim of providing participants with an introduction to digital courses and / or applying digital skills to different sectors.
Digital roles and roles with a digital focus are featured among those in greatest current demand in 2021/22 according to available job postings. Software development roles enjoyed strong recruitment demand throughout and following the pandemic period. The high requirement for software development skills reflects a widespread need for programming skills in related roles and other sectors.
Looking beyond conventional digital specialists, digital skills are now central to a number of functional areas including marketing, social media, design and analysis. Across this spectrum, social media, CRM and data analytics exhibit the strongest demand from employers. Digital skills are continuing to be important to the economy and to individual employability. The need for digital skills for the workplace and to support sectors outside of the traditional digital sector, is becoming an almost universal requirement.

description: Financial consultancy, financial transaction processing and clearing-house services

procurementMethodRationale:
The Authority has awarded this contract to the named supplier under regulation 32.2.b.ii having earlier issued a VEAT notice stating its intention to do so.
The awarded supplier currently provides the Services under a broader agreement, which is in exit. The Authority considers the services to business critical, in that they are essential to our ability to procure goods and pay our suppliers on time.
The Authority is currently migrating between it's PRISM ERP (xFCO) and ARES(xDFID) to a consolidated FCDO HERA ERP. Experience and understanding of all systems is integral to the function performed by this specialist finance team. During the present financial year and to deliver year end accounts and annual reporting, the Authority requires that the provider resources the service with knowledge of both the old and new ERP systems since they can ensure a smooth migration of data and integrity of year end accounts.
The Authority therefore considers that competition is absent for technical reasons.
Provision of the Services following transition will be the subject of a procurement exercise.
