About the requirement
From the notice
The Authority is seeking to procure a commercial off the shelf Enterprise Service Management Solution. The Technical Requirement Document and Specification have been based on a review of the existing solution as well as, high-level and detailed requirements captured in workshops and meetings with internal business representatives and IT subject matter experts. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the Authority is supported by the best technology in its day to day operations. The Solution must be intuitive and easy for both service providers and self-service users whilst enabling efficiencies and improvements through automation and integration. The Authority requires a customer-focused and commercially aware service management approach which will enhance the overall experience for all employees, enabling them to realise business outcomes with fewer IT-related or service limitations. The ESM Solution will have a rolling contract term with a minimum 5-year period, with the option to terminate the contract following a 2-year notice period. The earliest the 2-year notice period can be implemented is from year 3 and at any point after this time period. The 2-year notice period allows for procurement and implementation of a new Solution. Estimated value is for definitive term of 5 years. No variants or options will be accepted. For this tender the Authority will be using the ProContract (aka Due North) eSourcing portal https://procontract.due-north.com (https://procontract.due-north.com) throughout the procurement process, and all communications wiβ¦[E5]
