Description

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is currently seeking information from potential Suppliers active in the Marketplace in order to both qualify requirements and assess market supply opportunities for the provision of a revised intranet offer within the organisation.

CPS will seek to assess opportunities for implementing supply contracts for such products and services which will deliver tangible value for money and best in class whilst ensuring a compatible strategic fit. The Prior Information Notification (PIN) is classified as pre-market engagement and a formal tender (or alternate legally Public Contracts Regulations 2015 compliant route to market) will be used to identify the supplier that best meets our needs.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) wants to engage with Suppliers in the market to understand what solutions are available, the suitability of these solutions to the organisation, and how these can be delivered internally. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the DDaT market, the CPS reserves the right to engage with respondents to this RFI on a one-to-one basis, to better understand the solutions available from the market.

This Prior Information Notification (PIN) document summarises the requirement and requests feedback to be provided. This will aid the Authority to develop future requirements, inform future procurements, understand innovation as well as set an appropriate budget.

The CPS understands that Supplier time is incredibly valuable, and your input into this exercise is both welcomed and appreciated, though please note that the CPS is under no obligation to go out to the market following this exercise.
