RM1043.8-1-DOS 6- FY24/25 - ASC Skills Record

Tender description

Pre-market engagement On the 13/04/24, we posted our Skills Record Beta Phase Market Engagement survey, which closed on 29/04/24 and we received a total of 35 responses. Your feedback was invaluable, with the quality of responses high and provided useful insights that has informed DoS framework advertisement. Supporting documentation will be attached for Suppliers to review and incorporate into their responses. Work done so far We have successfully completed our Skills Record Alpha, during which we have built and tested a high-fidelity working prototype that will form the foundation of the beta product. We conducted a significant amount of user research during this phase, and the requirements gathered from this will form the basis of the private and public beta product. The Digital Care Workforce Pathway (DCWP) is a content piece that will be complementary to the Skills Record. The work on the DCWP will develop on content design already completed as work complementary to the Skills Record alpha. This saw user research with a range of members of the ASC workforce and design of the DCWP using government digital standards. These designs were then also tested with members of the workforce. Which phase the project is in Beta Existing team The supplier will be working directly with a hybrid DHSC and team that consists of: - 1 x Digital Policy Implementation Lead - 2 x Senior Digital Delivery Advisers Address where the work will be done No specific location. As we will use UK regulatory data, we require data to be kept within the UK. The solution provider will therefore be required to be UK based. However the DHSC teams are split between both Leeds and London, so occasional travel may be required. Working arrangements Work can be carried out in multiple locations, including the Supplier's offices. Attendance at DHSC office in London and Leeds may occasionally be required for certain meetings, however most will also take place online for those unable to attend in person. Teams will work in an Agile way, using their preferred project management methodology.

PQP is calculated for each bid by - determining the quality score for each bid, expressed as a whole number rather than as a percentage - dividing the bid price by the quality score to give an output price per quality point. We will be using PQP to evaluate submissions at Stage 2 rather than the 50%/20%/10%/20% split that the DOS forms force us to select. More information will be supplied at next stage SfC - Skills for Care SR - Skills Record Are you prepared to show your budget details?: Yes Indicative maximum: The contract is primarily for the Private Beta, however if it is successful it may move into a Public Beta phase. The success of the Public Beta will be dependant on a GDS / CDDO service centre assessment, which the provider will need to be involved in. The exact activities involved in the Public Beta stage of this project will be determined during the Private Beta. The department does intend to continue into the Public Beta phase, but reserves the right to halt the project following the Private Beta phase. Budget and project timelines should account for this transition/split. £3,000,000 exclusive of VAT.
