Description

The existing development management system, Acolaid, has been used at the Royal Borough since 2006.  Acolaid and its suppliers, Idox, have performed well in providing a comprehensive platform for key operations within DRES.  However, Acolaid is now a legacy product in need of replacement.
Acolaid is now only developed to meet changing statutory requirements.  This has allowed the Royal Borough to continue delivering business as usual activities with relatively few issues.  However, the absence of functional and user interface developments has meant that Acolaid now appears dated and lacking in the modern interfaces and functionality that are required in a corporate software platform.
The supplier has expressed a desire for the Royal Borough to offboard from Acolaid due to the increasing burden of maintaining support for the platform.  Support for Acolaid from Idox will not be in perpetuity.   
Acolaid is now incompatible with Azure Virtual Desktop, the council's chosen remote working solution.  A workaround has been established to allow users to work remotely, however this is at a premium infrastructure cost and cannot be regarded as a long-term solution.
The objective is to replace Acolaid with a new cloud hosted platform.  The new system will provide services with a robust, modern, feature rich platform that can be scaled and adapted to meet the ever-evolving needs of the Royal Borough

Government Digital Service (GDS), currently part of Cabinet Office is seeking a payment service provider to underpin the GOV.UK Pay platform, specifically for processing credit and debit card payments and pay by bank (open banking) payments made by end users to services operated by local government, police, the armed forces and some other public sector organisations. GDS is therefore undertaking this procurement as a central purchasing body using the negotiated procedure in accordance with regulation 37 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended). Background Information GOV.UK Pay ('Pay') is a digital payments platform, developed and run by GDS.

The platform has processed over 94 million transactions since September 2016, with a total value of £6 billion GBP. Services using GOV.UK Pay include HM Passport Office's Apply for a passport. Pay is a common tool that is built once and used many times by more than 1,000 different public sector services, saving the public sector time, money and reducing duplication of effort. It also offers a consistent, trusted and accessible user experience making it quick and easy for citizens to pay for public sector services. Pay has achieved significant realised benefits, saving public sector money. Whilst the current contract handles only 17% of payments currently going through GOV.UK Pay it is used by more than 70% of all our services currently taking a payment and is the only option available which enables teams to start taking payments within one working day.
