    "description": "FSCS is looking for a Service Provider to who can source a wide range of skilled IT professionals to augment FSCS development and project teams. FSCS is also looking for outcome-based support on projects. This would include developing and delivering FSCS\u2019 technology, including; \n- Advice \u0026 Deposits solution, Siebel, OpenText, Claims Website and Payment Portal, \n- Insurance solution, Microsoft Dynamics, \n- Data platform, which includes a Microsoft stack SQL Services Data Warehouse and Azure Data Lake, \n- Corporate website, \n- Azure infrastructure and services, and \n- Microsoft 365 platforms and services. \nFSCS is an organisation with a large responsibility in the UK financial sector, providing stability and confidence through our readiness and ability to respond when needed - this requires high availability, resilient systems managed and overseen by expert teams. With this single supplier framework we would be looking to: \n- Develop flexibly resourced development teams based on demand. \n- Respond quickly to deliver IT initiatives from proof of concepts through to delivery. \n- Ensure required expertise is available to FSCS for short- and long-term engagements. \n- Access to expertise and innovation to support FSCS\u2019 strategy delivery.\nThe single supplier framework agreement is a closed framework and not an open framework. The call-off mechanism will be direct call-offs with the single supplier with the process in line with the statement of requirements and the framework agreement. There are no fees charges to the supplier for being on the framework   \nJustification of the length of this FSCS framework agreement - FSCS considers that the nature of the services being supplied under the call-off contracts to be awarded under the framework means a longer term is required for FSCS to fully utilize the benefit of the new proposed framework. Please see the following rationale:\n-There will be a considerable period of transition between the incumbent supplier and a new supplier, which will require up-front investment from the supplier, and from FSCS, to build the expertise required and for knowledge transition. There will also be a considerable period of transition at the end of the framework agreement. \nFSCS \u2018s new 5 year strategy is due to commence 1st April 2026, Technology is expected to be a key component within the strategy. Therefore we require a strategic relationship with a supplier to meet our requirements for the full duration of the strategy\nPlease note that FSCS have not published a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice we have determined that preliminary market engagement was not necessary for this procurement. The requirements were sufficiently clear, and market conditions were well understood, allowing for a competitive tender process without prior engagement\nFor more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Information-systems-or-technology-strategic-review-and-planning-services./Y653P9R84H\nTo respond to this opportunity, please click here: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/Y653P9R84H",
