Published requirement description

This UK 7 Contract Details Notice concerns the conclusion of the Lot 2 contract only.

Lot 1 - Replacement Service Provider - the replacement service provider will transition the service from the incumbent supplier, Fujitsu Services Limited ("FSL" or "Fujitsu"), on a Walk In Take Over ("WITO") basis, provide some optional service stabilisation upgrades and, longer term, transformation of Horizon and its related systems to Cloud based technologies.

Lot 2 - COTS-EPOS-SaaS - a fully supplier supported and maintained commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS") EPOS system, provided as software as a service ("SaaS"). The system must meet the Authority's specific requirements with minimal bespoke customisations.

The supplier will provide the software, associated support and maintenance services, software updates, security management and continuous optimisation services necessary to support Post Office Limited's branch operations and the delivery of Horizon Replacement Programme outcomes. Physical deployment of technology to branches is not included

The contract includes the ability for Post Office Limited to commission additional services, enhancements and related deliverables through established contractual mechanisms where required to support future business needs and service developments

Lot 2 requires the supplier to:

  • provide and maintain a cloud-based commercial off-the-shelf EPOS platform delivered as SaaS;
  • configure the solution to meet Post Office Limited's business and operational requirements;
  • provide ongoing application support, maintenance, service management and incident resolution;
  • deliver software updates, security patches, product enhancements and continuous improvement activities;
  • support integration with associated Horizon Replacement Programme services and third-party systems where required;
  • provide environment management, monitoring, reporting and operational performance management; and
  • support adoption, optimisation and future service developments throughout the contract term.

The Contract value is £141,000,000 excluding VAT, for an initial 10 year term.

The Authority may extend the contract up to two times at its discretion, and in each case for an additional year.

  • How the procedure runs: For this procurement, the Post Office Limited (POL) intends to award a public contract through a competitive flexible procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023. The public contracts under this procurement are awarded by reference to lots. The outcome could be one of the following: • separate bidders are awarded the contracts for: Lot 1 Replacement Service Provider (comprising continuation of the current services through Walk In & Take Over from the incumbent where a new supplier is appointed, with optional services including stabilisation activities and transform operations where required by POL); and Lot 2 COTS-EPOS-SaaS Supplier (comprising the provision and implementation (where required) of the COTS and EPOS solution, and ongoing run services); or • a single supplier could be awarded both Lots. The following stages will be followed: 1. Stage 1: Planned Procurement Notice - POL issued a Planned Procurement Notice on 8 May 2025 2. Stage 2: Procurement Specific Questionnaire - a. Issuing of a Tender Notice inviting bidders to submit a request to participate in the procedure. b. To request to participate, bidders must register with POL's e-Sourcing platform, Web 3, complete, sign and return the non-disclosure agreement (NDA), conflict of interest form (COIF) and ethical walls agreements (EWA) (where required for incumbent suppliers) sent to the bidder. Bidder's must complete the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) by no later than 21 August 2025 for Lot 1 and 12 September 2025 for Lot 2. The PSQ and other associated tender documents and background documents will be made available to a bidder upon receipt of a properly completed NDA, EWA (where required) and COIF. In addition, bidders must register with the central digital platform operated by the Cabinet Office (CDP) and upload the core supplier information. They must also ensure that any associated person of the bidder and any proposed sub-contractor also registers with the CDP and uploads their core supplier information. To request to participate in Lot 1, bidders must do so by returning completed PSQ (including confirmation of CDP registration and upload of core supplier information) by 12:00 BST on Thursday, 21 August 2025. For Lot 2, bidders must do so by 12:00 BST on Friday, 12 September 2025. c. All documents relating to this procurement, including all procurement documents, will be made available through POL's e-Sourcing platform, Web 3, the link for which can be found elsewhere in this notice. Bidders must return the NDA, COIF and, where required the EWA, to receive access to all associated tender documents. Suppliers bidding for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 will need to complete separate NDAs, EWAs and CoIFs d. The PSQ will be structured in such a way that potential providers can submit and be evaluated for the specific lot in which they are interested. The PSQ will address background information, economic standing, capability, capacity and experience, but will not require any pricing at this stage. e. The PSQ submissions will be evaluated and moderated against a set of criteria that test bidders' capacity, capability and experience. The six highest scoring bidders for each lot will be Invited to submit an Initial Tender as part of the Initial Tender Stage (ITS). 3. Stage 3: Initial Tender Stage - At the ITS of the procurement, tenders will be assessed on how the Bidder's proposed solution will be delivered, how much it will cost and under what terms it will be supplied. There will be weightings applied to the qualitative and quantitative assessment criteria set out in the ITS documentation. Any tender submitted, at ITS, must be capable of acceptance without the need to engage in dialogue. Where an assessed tender meets the criteria set out in the ITS documentation, POL may determine that tender is the most advantageous tender (MAT), under section 19 of the Procurement Act 2024 and proceed to Stage 6: Contract Award with that Bidder. If POL does so, it will not conduct Stage 4 or Stage 5. 4. Stage 4: Dialogue (optional) - a. Where POL decides to continue to the dialogue stage, it intends to invite up to four bidders with the highest scoring Initial Tenders for each lot from the ITS to participate with POL in dialogue/negotiation. b. Dialogue/negotiation will be staggered with Lot 1 starting first and Lot 2 commencing prior to the Lot 1 dialogue completing. 5. Stage 5: Invitation to Submit Final Tenders (ITSFT) - a. Once dialogue completes, the bidders invited to dialogue will be Invited to Submit Final Tenders (ITSFT) against the refined requirements (solution, commercial and contractual) and the refined award criteria weightings that apply to this stage (which will be set out in the ITSFT). b. POL will evaluate and moderate the final tenders and assess which tenders offer the most advantageous tender (MAT). 6. Stage 6: Contract Award - Following evaluation and moderation of the ITSFT responses, POL will identify the preferred bidder(s) and announce this in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, and work with those preferred bidders to finalise contracts. POL proposes to rely on section 24 of the Procurement Act 2024 to refine the award criteria. It will rely on that section to potentially change the relative weighting of the award criteria following the dialogue/negotiation stage. POL expects to require similar services after the expiry of the contract awarded under this procurement. However, it does not intend to carry out that subsequent procurement in reliance on the direct award justification in paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023.

How it runs

For this procurement, the Post Office Limited (POL) intends to award a public contract through a competitive flexible procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023.

The public contracts under this procurement are awarded by reference to lots. The outcome could be one of the following:

Review and risk notes
Risks

In respect of both Lot 1 and Lot 2 contracts POL has identified the following risks, the occurrence of which could jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the awarded contracts, but because of their nature, cannot be addressed in the contracts as awarded, and so may require a substantial amendment to the contracts under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 (materialisation of a known risk) to the Procurement Act 2023:

  • findings of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry (or any other public inquiry, or inquiry of a similar nature, into the operations of the Post Office or the Horizon system) (Inquiry) that require modification to the awarded contract to implement;
  • policy decisions made by HM Government, any regulator, or any other public body, whether or not in response to findings by an Inquiry, that require modification to the awarded contracts to implement;
  • the enactment or coming into force of legislation relating to the Post Office that requires modification to the awarded contracts to implement;
  • where the Lot 1 and Lot 2 contracts are awarded to separate suppliers, the failure of one supplier to perform its obligations under awarded contract where that failure affects the ability of the supplier under the other awarded contract to perform its obligations;
  • where the deployment of the Lot 2 solution by the Lot 1 supplier to the branch estate is delayed, disrupted to otherwise does not proceed according to plan due to complexities arising from the branch network;
  • where either the Lot 1 or Lot 2 supplier is unable to perform their obligations under their respective awarded contract due to complexities arising from the Horizon systems;
  • in respect of either the Lot 1 or Lot 2 contract, that the procurement for the contract for the other Lot is abandoned or significantly delayed;

In respect of the Lot 1 contract only:

  • there is a delay to the appointment of the Lot 2 supplier;
  • there is a delay in the design and build of the solution, or any part of it, provided under the Lot 2 contract; or
  • the Authority is unable to recruit sufficient in-house service integration and management capability, and requires additional support from the Lot 1 supplier.

In respect of the Lot 2 contract only:

There is a delay in implementation of the Lot 1, which results in a continued reliance on the incumbent supplier and the need for an extension to the contract or other change to ensure business continuity.
