Homes England - CCS DOS5 Sharepoint Pre Tender Market Engagement

Tender description

<p>This Pre Tender Market Engagement (PTME) is not a call to competition.&nbsp; <strong>This Pre Tender Market Engagement (PTME) is for members of the Crown Commercial Service Digital Outcomes and Specialists Framework and is not for suppliers who have not been appointed to the framework.</strong></p> <p>The aims of this PTME are to:</p> <p>&bull;Alert potential suppliers to the forthcoming opportunity which will be advertised through the DOS5 panel.</p> <p>&bull;Set out the indicative timetable for the procurement.</p> <p>&bull;Outline the key objectives and potential delivery options being considered that may be included within the forthcoming procurement</p> <p>&bull;Gain feedback from the market to inform the upcoming procurement exercise</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The rollout of Office 365 by Homes England (HE) has delivered several significant benefits, including a cloud-based communication and collaboration platform that includes Outlook, Teams, OneDrive and Yammer; however, it has also provided instance of SharePoint Online (SPO) where there is little control, structure or governance. 800+ Teams have been created, some using Team sites to store documents. These sites have no retention policy or governance. This increases both our risk and potential non-compliance. Content is being created, shared and deleted with little control. If unaddressed, we risk an incident occurring and greater effort will be needed to transition to the new solution. As Homes England currently lacks in house SPO expertise, this has resulted in an inconsistent approach to how it is being used, along with a risk of data breaches. It is also evident we are not exploiting the opportunities and capabilities that come with this platform and the significant investment Homes England is making in MS365 and our E5 licences. In addition, Homes England uses SharePoint On-Prem (SP2010). This is out of support and no longer fit for purpose. The content and InfoPath forms that sit in SP2010 need to be reviewed and where needed migrated to SPO.</p> Keywords: Microsoft Sharepoint, Sharepoint online
