The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) is entering into a contract with Kick ICT Group to supply maintenance, development and software support for its suite of Finance and Procurement systems including SunSystems SunAccounts, DEPM, P2P, Spindle and bespoke add-on modules. This is to preserve the integration to Scottish Government's e-Procurement systems and ensure continuous updating and operation of the COPFS systems which are business critical, from a supplier able to provide highly responsive on-site and remote support, maintenance and development across all elements. Due to the existing integrations and bespoke modules that have been developed and are maintained and supported by Kick ICT Group, competition is absent. Additional information: Due to pressures generated by the COVID-19 pandemic national lockdown restrictions some planned developments from the previous contract were late to start and unable to be concluded before the contract expiry. These will need to be finished under the new contract.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,161 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,053 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer31 median · 1 average (3 of 3 with a bid count)1 average (3 of 3 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM5962 median · 6.3 average (330 of 596 with a bid count)1.5 average (371 of 596 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleUnder the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 33(b)(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons and to protect exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. Kick ICT Group own the IPR for the integrations and bespoke modules that have been developed and are maintained and supported as part of the COPFS Finance and Procurement Systems. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic national lockdown some developments required under the previous contract were late in starting and are unable to be concluded before expiry. These will need to be finished under the new contract.
