Contract Award: Provision of Digital Delivery Capability Partners

Description

CPS wishes to assemble a small panel of suppliers (maximum 3 initially) to provide a call off facility to assist with delivery of the in-scope items listed in section 5.
The selected suppliers will be expected to respond rapidly (within 5 working days) to SOW issued by various Delivery Leads across the department.
Each SOW will be for milestone-based delivery.
Each SOW is likely to be for limited timeframes - between 6 weeks and 6 months typically although this may vary depending on demand.
The commercial approach will be reviewed over the first 12 months of the contract. 
Suppliers will be expected to have a significant pool of expert resource to draw upon. Our intention is to give good notice of demand however there may be occasions when we require teams to mobilise quickly. 
Suppliers must be capable of working to the Agile methodology.  Whilst not all development at CPS is Agile, the majority is with an ambition to do more.
Work is initially likely to focus on discoveries, user interface and user experience, but this may vary depending on demand and the outcome of discoveries.
The Contract shall commence on the 19th day of December 2023 and the expiry date will be the 18th day of June 2025.  We reserve the option to extend the Call-Off contract by up to 4 x 12 months.  The total contract value shall be £25million to £50million ex-VAT (for all 3 winning supplier contracts, including all options).
