II.2.4) Disgrifiad o’r caffaeliad
The Authority requires the provision of administration services for the CSPS, which includes the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, the Civil Service and Others Pension Scheme, the Civil Service Compensation Scheme and the Civil Service Injury Benefits Schemes. The CSPS has approximately 475 000 active members, 360 000 deferred members and 662 000 pensioners. The pension administration services required include the following:
— accounting services,
— administration services.
— employer services including:
—— the collection of data,
—— communications, including digital,
—— the provision of a portal,
— maintenance of a comprehensive single data base of members records which complies with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements,
— member services, including:
—— the provision of self service capability,
—— the accurate and timely calculation of pension awards,
—— member communications (including digital communications, managing and operating a helpline, issuing benefits statements, annual pension increase letters, printing services and scheme leaflets),
— pension payroll services (bulk and individual payroll services),
— and reporting, including management information and provision of information to regulators and other bodies as needed.
The tender documents will include more information on these requirements.
Potential bidders' suitability to participate will be assessed using the Selection questionnaire (SQ).
Following the initial evaluation, shortlisted potential bidders will be issued an Invitation To Tender (ITT), and invited to provide a tender outlining their proposed solution. Tenders will undergo evaluation and the Authority anticipates that no more than the top 6 bidders will be invited to attend a face to face session with the Authority. Once all bidders have attended their session, the Authority will issue a formal Invitation to Participate in Dialogue (ITPD). Bidders will be required to submit a formal response to the ITPD. The Authority will evaluate the ITPD, and down-select to those bidders it wishes to take in to Competitive Dialogue stage. The Authority anticipates that no more than 3 bidders will participate in the Competitive Dialogue stage.
During the Competitive Dialogue stage, the Authority will reserve the right to down-select bidders that fail to meet the award criteria. At the end of the Competitive Dialogue stage all remaining bidders will be invited to present a subsequent tender. Following the Authority’s evaluation of such subsequent tender a preferred bidder will be selected. The Authority will then endeavour to finalise a contract with the preferred bidder. The Authority reserves the right to appoint a reserve tender during the preferred bidder stage with whom the Authority will endeavour to finalise a contract if the preferred bidder cannot stand up to their subsequent tender.
The Authority reserves the right to invite additional potential bidders to tender in certain circumstances, for example if a shortlisted potential bidder withdraws from the procurement process.
The award criteria will be on the sole basis of the most economically advantageous tender in terms of the tender representing the best price-quality ratio. The Authority envisages that the price-quality ratio will be approximately 30 (price) and 70 (quality) at initial tender stages and 45 (price) 55 (quality) at future down select and final evaluation stages as may be updated during the stages of the procurement process. It is envisaged that quality will encompass contractual compliance and appropriate technical solution and compliance with the technical requirements.
Any contract or agreement resulting from the procurement process will be considered as a contract made in England according to English Law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The Authority does not bind itself to award any contract nor does it bind itself to accept any tender.
