What is being bought

Published requirement description

Participation is subject to interested parties signing an NDA. Please email [email protected] to confirm your interest and receive the NDA for your signature. On signature you will be granted access to the Selection Questionnaire and draft Procurement Documents.

Post Office is in the process of replacing its existing EPOS system, known as Horizon.

Post Office is building the new system, ?New Branch IT? (?NBIT?) in house as part of its Strategic Platform Modernisation Programme (?SPMP?).

Whilst Post Office is responsible for overall programme management, strategy and architecture it has a requirement to engage with third parties to help create the necessary solution.

This procurement therefore is designed to identify and appoint suitable partners to a small panel of providers of such services. Work will be let via mini-competitions within the panels on either a T&M or fixed price dependent on the nature of the work packages.

Post Office is in the process of replacing its existing EPOS system, known as Horizon.

Post Office is building the new system, ?New Branch IT? (?NBIT?) in house as part of its Strategic Platform Modernisation Programme (?SPMP?).

Whilst Post Office is responsible for overall programme management, strategy and architecture it has a requirement to engage with third parties to help create the necessary solution.

The current framework for certain lots will be exhausted during 2024 and a new provision for development and programme related services needs to be established.

This procurement therefore is designed to identify and appoint suitable partners to a small panel of providers of such services. Work will be let via mini-competitions within the panel on either a T&M or fixed price dependent on the nature of the work packages.
