| ESMCP | Home Office | ESMCP Evaluation Support | ESMCP is delivering integrated critical voice and broadband data mobile communications to the 3 Emergency Services (3ES). The anticipated delivery date for the first service is late 2016. The Programme is currently taking the Outline Business Case (OBC) through departmental, HMT and Cabinet Office (CO) approvals, and preparing the OJEU notice, Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and 4 Invitations to Tender (ITT). CO approvals has confirmed that this particular section of work will not require ERG approval as this is classed as Financial Advice. The PQQ will be issued at the end of March 2014 and responses from potential bidders are due by the end of April 2014. These responses are due to be assessed in early May 2014 with ITTs released to the selected short listed parties at the end of May 2014. The Programme has a need to procure a specialist consultancy to assist with evaluating responses to the PQQ. This assistance relates to evaluating the financial and economic standing of potential bidders based upon financial information provided by the interested parties together with any other publicly available information. | £120,000 | 10/03/2014 |
| Home Office | Home Office | Consultancy Support for the Emergency Services Mobile Communications | The main objective for this procurement phase is technical and financial support to produce a FBC. A specific output for this consultancy support is therefore producing the key technical and financial content for the draft FBC (which will be coordinated by the in-house team). In particular, this will need to be informed by: • Updated network and transition cost modelling based on bidder pricing • Funding model agreed between departments for core and non-core expenditure • Benefits modelling, including local implications of the broadband services being provided by ESN that are currently delivered locally • Preferred bidder evaluations In addition, the Programme will be delivering upgrades to the control rooms and ground-to-air networks, which are on the critical path to ensure that 3ES are ready to support interoperability from late 2016 onwards. Throughout this phase, it will be essential to retain, and where possible strengthen, user confidence in the traceability of requirements through to the final specifications. Specifically, this will require using the established change control process to update the User Requirements Catalogue in Cradle where required (Cradle is the requirements management tool being used by the Home Office for ESMCP). The Programme needs to concurrently proceed with the procurement process whilst also preparing for mobilisation and transition post contract award. In particular, coordination of the upgrades and preparations of control rooms is required during this period. | £2,000,000 | 07/05/2014 |
| Home Office | Home Office | Strategic Intent & Target Operating Model | Immigration Enforcement needs to develop a strategic approach to its business that both encourages compliance and targets the least compliant individuals. It needs to do this in the context of imminent changes to legislation that are expected to require a fundamentally different approach to the way we do business. To ensure that we are prepared to meet a significant uplift in volumes once the Immigration Bill receives Royal Assent, both a new strategy and the rapid development of a robust operating model are required. | £80,000 | 25/03/2014 |
