National Accreditation Team Support and Party Political Conference and Major Event Services

GMP is seeking the procurement of services to support the delivery of UK event accreditation. The procurement is split into two lots: Lot 1: Provision of an application management service to provide the hosting, management, maintenance, and further development of a suite of bespoke applications used for the accreditation of attendees at events throughout the UK mainland. The applications are written in HCL Domino, and as such a comprehensive knowledge of these is required. Lot 2: Provision of onsite and remote IT support services to UK based events. The supplier is required to provide and arrange the relevant secure network infrastructure and the necessary hardware, peripherals, and software to allow on site accreditation and barcode scanning at gate entry points. 24/7 support for the infrastructure for the duration of the events is also required. Lots 1 and 2 are fundamentally interlinked and as such the successful supplier(s) will need to be able to efficiently and effectively collaborate with other organisations. Suppliers are encouraged to submit quotes for either or both lots, as they see fit. Additional information: This tender process is being conducted through the Bluelight e-tendering portal. In the interests of fairness, accountability and auditability, all communication regarding this tender must be made through the ‘Messaging’ facility of the Bluelight portal. No other methods of communication will receive a response.
