HCC - 05/25 - The Provision of an Applicant Tracking System

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of an Applicant Tracking System The current contract for the provision of an Applicant Tracking System will expire in March 2026. The primary goal of this procurement is to secure a new contract that aligns with Hertfordshire County Council’s price and quality specifications. In November 2024, PPME was conducted under the PCR2015 ref: 2024/S 000-037432 and by consulting with the following groups: Suppliers registered with the Council’s e-tendering system completed a questionnaire. Other Local Authorities that utilise an Applicant Tracking System and Engagement with internal stakeholders who will be using the system The objectives of this engagement were to: Shape our requirements specification, Understand how the market has evolved and what new functionalities are available since the Council last tendered for this contract. Determine contract length and budgets that are suitable for both the Council and Suppliers, ensuring they align with our requirements. Assist with establishing timelines for the procurement process, including implementation and mobilisation period. Explore future innovations in the sector that could be incorporated into the contract during this term. Provide evidence to support our key requirement of making the system user-friendly and enabling the automation of processes to reduce manual administration. The findings from the PPME have been factored into the agreed tender process and supporting documentation. Since the Council published its PPME, the English Devolution white paper, was published in December 2024. It outlines the Central Government’s plan to reform local government. These changes are expected to occur during the tenure of this Contract, potentially altering the structure, shape and size of the organisation, though the specifics are currently unknown. Therefore, the services of this Contract may be expanded, contracted, or otherwise adjusted by mutual agreement with the successful Tenderer to reflect changes in local or regional priorities arising from devolution. Any changes shall be subject to a Variation procedure and priced accordingly and must be in accordance with public procurement legislation and Council contracting regulations. The Contract has not been split into lots as the Council is purchasing one solution to be managed by one central team, the Applicant Tracking System purchased will fulfil all our requirements and it is not reasonably practicable for it to be supplied by more than one Supplier. The Council will procure this contract using the Competitive Flexible Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, which will allow us to run a multistage procurement process as explained above. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to ‘express an interest’ and also ‘opt in’ which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system. To be considered as a Tenderer you must complete and submit a Tender by the deadline of 12 noon on the 27th June 2025 Please allow sufficient time to make your return, as Tender submissions cannot be uploaded and submitted after this return deadline. Please ensure that where possible documents are uploaded as a PDF and that file names are succinct. Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents, and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above. Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate. Please note that the contract requirements will be subject to available financial resources, supplier performance and flexibility to meet changing demands.

As per the Procurement Act 2023, the Council reserves the right during the Award phase of this procurement exercise to: - Amend the stages of the Competitive Flexible Procedure where further stages are required to come to a fuller understanding between parties of the scope or requirement or other such necessary elements. Amend the specification Define or refine sub-weightings, particularly for price if it is not possible to fix costs for significant element(s) of the Statement of Requirement.

Tender for UKROEd Project MApp (Management Application) CRM Phase 2

UKROEd is undertaking a tender to procure a delivery partner for implementation of its MApp Phase 2 requirements. UKROEd has worked hard to establish its role as trusted governor of the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme and while stakeholder feedback is consistently positive, we also know that accessing our systems and services, and our communications, can sometimes feel disjointed. 'Behind the scenes' some of our systems and processes are not as efficient and effective as we would wish. UKROEd has expanded rapidly since its creation in 2016. The company has recently developed its first Digital Strategy and within this, identified several areas of activity that would benefit from some digital investment. To address the challenges, UKROEd has commissioned Project MApp (Management Application), which will deliver an integrated business management solution that seeks to improve organisational and staff efficiency, ensure high data quality and accuracy to support timely decision making, and provide an exceptional user experience for our staff and external stakeholders. It will deliver the consolidation (and where possible automation) of critical business processes around an integrated solution. This holistic solution will not be a single logical product or technology platform and will at least comprise of a Learning Management Solution (LMS) and a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM), to be sourced separately but branded and acting (where required) cohesively as an integrated system. MApp in totality will facilitate much of UKROEd's core business including stakeholder engagement, trainer and provider licence management, training interventions (face-to-face and e-learning) and live events / conferences. Acknowledging the fact that an LMS has a simpler set of requirements and to start realising benefits as quickly as possible, these requirements were "frontloaded", with the procurement of an LMS being authorised as part of MApp 'Phase 1'. Phase 1 implementation is underway, with Open eLMS as the chosen technology platform. This tender exercise for 'Phase 2', will address the wider requirement set. UKROEd is seeking a delivery partner for implementation of its MApp Phase 2 requirements, centred around the deployment of an integrated, low/no-code CRM. Given the organisation's existing Microsoft 365 platform/application base, current technology strategy and internal skillset, it is anticipated the core CRM solution will likely comprise of Microsoft Dynamics 365, integrating with the Power Platform ecosystem for customer portal and full workflow capabilities. However, alternatives will also be considered. While the wider support model for MApp is to be determined, we would anticipate that the contracted delivery partner thereafter provides platform and application support for the implemented solution as part of a managed service. A budget envelope of GBP 500,000 has been established, within which prospective tenderers will be invited to submit capped implementation pricing (during invitation to submit a final tender - i.e. after dialogue) for delivery of all core components. As a small organisation with a limited budget, robust control over costs will be imperative.
