University of York - IAM - Technical Implementation Partner Services

Tender description

The University of York is issuing this Pre-Market Engagement (PME) notice so we can engage with the "Certified Okta Consultant" market as defined in our Planned Procurement Notice (PPN) 2026/S 000-095516; and subsequently an Invitation to Tender (ITT). This PME notice is published to trigger Expressions of Interest (EoI) and to allow for a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to be issued. The prerequisites for receiving the NDA and having a successful EoI are stated in the related PPN. If you consider yourself to be a "Certified Okta partner with at least "consultant level certification" or higher you are applicable for this PME and to be considered for participation in our subsequent Invitation to Tender (ITT) . The University will therefore conduct a closed PME, in advance of tendering for a Technical Implementation Partner (TIP) to implement its new Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform, Okta. Okta has already been determined through a separate procurement exercise. The proposed PME is therefore focused on the implementation of the platform, including the scope of implementation services including configuration and integration, delivery approach, resourcing, timescales and commercial model. The University is seeking to engage with organisations with the prescribed OKTA experience shown in the attachment to the PPN and accreditation for delivering enterprise IAM implementations, particularly within complex UK or EU higher education or similar public sector environments. You will be required to evidence this experience and accreditation as part of our PME and ITT which will rapidly follow this notice.
