A service is required to manage and implement changes to the FCS in order to support the business need, maintain continuous improvement, fix issues and enhance it to meet the agreed requirements of other funding systems. The new service will need to undertake a knowledge transfer (KT) exercise with the existing managed service. This will need to be complete by 29th July 2022 when that service ceases. It is a requirement that this KT exercise incorporates the creation of any necessary documentation or knowledge artefacts needed to build the understanding of the FCS and how it is maintained, enhanced and operated.

- Change Value uplifted by £2,688,231 and + 1 extension option executed., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The extension will allow us to continue this work and retain our current supplier Cognizant to the end of the contract term ensuring continuity. The team is established and if very familiar with the policy requirements. The alternative to this extension and corresponding uplift would be to go to market with a new procurement activity, which would result in a gap in current service and duplication of costs while the incoming supplier familiarises themselves with the complex service through a significant handover and transition period.
