Lot details

Lot 1

The procurement was for the provision of the Civil Service Jobs Platform The Civil Service Jobs digital platform (Applicant Tracking System or ATS) is the principal digital recruitment platform for: the Government Recruitment Service (GRS), our central operational recruitment service and its customers; Government departments who use GRS services; and Departments who don't use GRS services, but subscribe to Civil Service Jobs Government-affiliated non-departmental public bodies and Arm's Length Bodies. Civil Service Jobs enables candidates to apply for jobs and vacancy holders to manage recruitment from advert to job offer. It is integral to cross-government recruitment activity; delivering 70% of Civil Service recruitment, with 100% of roles advertised through CS Jobs and 211 organisations using the service. Government People Group (GPG) will replace the current platform to align with, and deliver, key cross-government strategies, including the Declaration on Government Reform and the Civil Service Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 22-25. We want the next generation of Civil Service Jobs to resolve some of our biggest recruitment challenges: improving time to hire, standardising much of our recruitment processes, and giving our users a more intuitive user experience.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 30. The category anchor is Computer platforms (30211300); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 301,7234 median · 34.2 average (741 of 1,723 with a bid count)3.9 average (824 of 1,723 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK5488 median · 76.6 average (202 of 548 with a bid count)7.2 average (229 of 548 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

This is a great opportunity for innovative companies to bid for a chance to work with us to help achieve these objectives.\nThe Authority is looking for proposals to respond to this significant platform opportunity.\nFurther details of the Authority's requirements are set out in the procurement documents. Additional information: The Authority shall not be liable for any costs incurred by those potential bidders (including third party, costs, fees or expenses) expressing an interest in or tendering for this contract opportunity. Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to contract award is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential bidders. No implied contract is created.\nThe Authority reserves the right not to award a contract as described in this notice, postpone or terminate the tendering exercise (or any part of it) at any time without liability on its part.\nThe value of the contract stated above is an estimate only and no guarantees or commitments are given by the Authority in relation to the volume or value of the services that will be instructed under the contract, which may fluctuate from time to time (including depending on the level of use of the CS Jobs platform by the Authority and other Central Government Bodies).  \n Any  contract will be awarded by the Minister for the Cabinet Office, however bidders should be aware that the Civil Service Jobs Platform can be used by any of the bodies identified below (and their successors), and the contract will be entered into for the benefit of the Minister of the Cabinet Office and for the benefit of all such bodies that use the Civil Service Jobs Platform from time to time:\nAll Ministerial Government Departments;\nNon Ministerial Government Departments;\nExecutive Agencies of government and other subsidiary bodies;\nCivil service bodies, including public sector buying organisations;\nAll non-Crown Status Government Companies wholly or partly owned by Central Government Departments and their subsidiaries;\nThe non-Departmental Public Bodies, other Public Bodies, Public Corporations and their subsidiary bodies sponsored by Central Government Departments which are not covered by the above categories; \nAll new bodies created which fall within the criteria set out above;\nThose listed and maintained by the Government on their website at https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations or any replacement or updated web-link; and\nThose listed and maintained by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) as being part of Central Government at https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/uksectoraccounts/datasets/publicsectorclassificationguide  or any replacement or updated web-link.\nOn 2.4.2014 Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. \nThis link provides information on the GSC at: \nhttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications\nThe Supplier is required to submit prior to the Contract Award date all the due certificates, statements and other means of proof requested in the ITT.\nCyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders must be able to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement.\nRefer to https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/cyber-essentials-faqs for more information.\nRegistering for access:\nThis procurement will be managed electronically via the eSourcing suite. This will be the route for sharing all information and communicating with bidders.

It is integral to cross-government recruitment activity; delivering 70% of Civil Service recruitment, with 100% of roles advertised through CS Jobs and 211 organisations using the service.\n\n\"We are responsible to bring the right people, in the right jobs, at the right time, into the Civil Service\"\n\nGovernment People Group (GPG) will replace the current platform to align with, and deliver, key cross-government strategies, including the Declaration on Government Reform and the Civil Service Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 22-25.\n\nWe want the next generation of Civil Service Jobs to resolve some of our biggest recruitment challenges: improving time to hire, standardising much of our recruitment processes, and giving our users a more intuitive user experience. This is a great opportunity for innovative companies to bid for a chance to work with us to help achieve these objectives.\n\nThe purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to invite interested parties to our Supplier Launch Event to be held on August 22nd, 2023 (the exact time will be confirmed closer to this date). During this event, we will present a high-level overview of our requirements and our plans for the procurement.\nThe Supplier Event will be an online event lasting up to 3 hours, from 1pm. \nPre-registration will be mandatory and it will need to be completed before 17:00hrs on 17/08/2023.\n\nWe do have to limit attendance to 3 team members from each supplier. We hope to see a good representation of your team - a good idea would be to have colleagues from your commercial and technical teams.\n\nTo register interest in the event please register via our eProcurement platform https://crowncommercialservice.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html. \nNames, job titles and contact information will need to be supplied for all Supplier Event attendees. The event will be recorded for  those participants who are unable to attend the event in real time. \nIn the interest of time, questions will not be accepted or responded to during the session but there will be an opportunity for potential providers to submit questions after the event via Jaggaer.\nTopics to be covered will include the following;\nIntroduction to Service\nTender introduction\nSummary of requirements\nCommercial/Procurement Plans\nTimeline\nThe session will be facilitated by a Commercial representative and with Programme representation. Following the Supplier Event, the Programme will provide a copy of the presentation and will share questions, clarification requests and all responses with all potential providers.\nTerms and Conditions of the PIN\nPotential providers will not be prejudiced by any response to this PIN, or failure to respond.
