II.2.4) Disgrifiad o’r caffaeliad
Cadent is seeking a partner to provide Infrastructure and Application Support and Maintenance services for a range of core business systems. We expect the chosen partner to operate using a suite of standard ITIL processes which are deployed today across Cadent.
The notice includes a list of services and cpv codes for Information Technology services. A full range is included in the PQQ that are indicative and outlines the broad service categories rather than particulars. The services actually required will also include related, complementary or ancillary services within each category. The actual scope of services required may be narrower than that set out above.
Alongside the support and maintenance service, Cadent is seeking a partner that can provide both project and resource augmentation services as required over the term of the agreement.
Cadent's support processes are currently managed using Service Now and the successful bidder will be expected to successfully procure, maintain and implement a replacement service management tool (which could be Service Now or an alternative) as part of the overall service transition exercise.
Cadent estimated value is £5,000,000 - £10,000,000 per annum for IT applications and infrastructure support.
Cadent estimates up to a further £100,000,000 potential spend on project and resource augmentation services across the 8-year term on a no volume guarantee basis.
