Corporate Services Modernisation Phase 2 DP

Description

The CSM Portfolio has been initiated with the aim of delivering efficient and effective HR, Finance and Commercial Shared Services in line with the Government Shared Service Strategy (GSSS). This was established to encourage greater collaboration, help reform government and to play a part in emphasising interoperability across government, in line with global industry standards. The CSM Portfolio is nearing the end of its initial phase of discovery and design work (“Phase 1”). The Phase 1 contract was previously awarded to KPMG LLP following a call-off competition under the Authority’s Digital and IT Professional Services framework agreement. However, there were elements of the Authority’s detailed design requirement (e.g. for Defence HR Services,) which were not included in Phase 1 due to the complexity of high-level design work required to amalgamate various Civilian and Military systems and associated processes. This has led to the Authority needing to place this interim six-month contract with KPMG LLP via direct award to complete the detailed design stage before commencing the Transformation and Implementation phase of the programme. Currently, it is the Authority’s intention that this Transformation and Implementation phase will be procured via one or more contracts following competitive procurement exercises.
