What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Agency operates a complex suite of IT systems in support of its functions. Support for, and further development of, this suite is provided by a number of incumbent suppliers, with the largest service currently provided under a contracted service known as the Current Applications Outsource (AO) Service. The Current AO Contract is coming to an end, and the Agency is now seeking to award a new contract for Successor AO Service to continue support for these systems. This will be contracted immediately as part of this Procurement Exercise, along with the work to transition as swiftly as possible from the Current AO Service to the Successor AO Service. The Agency may require the continued development of the Successor AO Service from both a functional and technical perspective.
