Description

The CCS Standard Framework and Call-off Terms have been redesigned. This new Public Sector Contract (PSC) is a modular contract, with plug-in schedules. These schedules are not yet specific to the market and the contract does not currently include any provisions that suppliers in this sector have said they need in order to manage the contract (eg call-offs) with customers of this framework.

CCS would like to accommodate the terms suppliers in this market need in order for them to remain compliant with their regulators so that suppliers do not append these terms to customer call-off contracts. This may mean that certain terms with the PSC need switching off and adding to in order to meet the regulatory needs of the market.


In order to make the contract as attractive to new suppliers as possible, CCS would like to accommodate some of the terms suppliers are used to in the banking sector, where these terms do not conflict with the Public Sector Contract or otherwise give a commercial advantage to suppliers by following the action plan below:
1. review the underlying public sector contract in order to understand what is in it in order to determine what clauses need to be switched off they won't work in this industry sector
2. create 6 sets of special terms in the style of the PSC, appropriate to each lot. These 6 sets of terms to address core common issues and any cross over issues.

3. Specialist input on financial services data protection issues.
4. Release of first draft documents to CCS.
Additional work included in the Estimate of Charges
5. Follow up discussion with CCS to agree any amends to the first draft set of documents.
6. Any additional changes required as a result of the follow up discussion.
7. Release of final draft documents to CCS.
