What is being bought

Home Group is seeking Oracle Support in two distinct areas, E-Business Suite (EBS) Database Administration Support (DBA) and EBS Technical and Functional Support. In line with the tender brief and associated documentation, our goal is to establish a robust Oracle support contract tailored to meet our needs in two distinct mission critical areas, EBS DBA Support and EBS Technical and Functional Support. We aim to secure a contract that ensures comprehensive, reliable and efficient support services enabling Home Group to maintain and enhance our EBS infrastructure and operations effectively. Services will be divided into two separate lots, with no interdependencies or restrictions on the suppliers who may submit proposals for either lot:- Lot 1 - EBS DBA Support The initial contract term is three years, with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year periods for lot 1 - 3+1+1. This results in a total potential contract duration of five years for this particular lot. Extensions will be at the discretion of Home Group and will require agreement with the successful supplier. Lot 2 - EBS Technical and Functional Support The initial contract term is two years, with the option to extend for up to three additional one-year periods for lot 2 - 2+1+1+1. This results in a total potential contract duration of five years for this particular lot.

Lot details

EBS DBA Support

EBS DBA Support Home Group is inviting tender responses for the Oracle Database Administration and OCI estate Management elements of the Linux based Oracle e-Business Suite (EBS) system and all its related servers. Home Group's Oracle e-Business Suite Estate is hosted in OCI and in addition to the core System Database and Applications Servers it also contains VMs for the Enterprise Command Centre, Learning Content Server, APEX (Oracle Application Express), IPA (Identity Policy and Audit), TFTP (for hosting Taleo Recruitment integration files) and an external facing Oracle Supplier Portal. The requirement is to provide a service that will cover all day to day (business as usual) support requirements for the aforementioned systems from a database, operating system and OCI Platform point of view. This will include the routine administration of the systems to maintain their security, stability and performance, whilst also serving the requirements of the business to provide typical ad-hoc and planned Oracle Database Administration (DBA), Linux Operating System (O/S) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Administration services. The production systems are mission critical and as such Home Group will require that the service makes allowance for this, ensuring that the systems are proactively covered for P1 (System Unavailable) situations with issues resolved as they occur within the agreed Service Levels of Support or preferably, that they are prevented by active monitoring with pro-active remedial actions. Further details are specified within the Specification document.

EBS Technical and Functional Support

BS Technical and Functional Support Home Group require a support service to help us deal with the resolution of issues and queries arising from the use of the Oracle e-Business Suite Application. This lot deals with issues that require technical and functional Oracle e-Business Suite expertise. The Database Administration (DBA) and Linux Administration support is dealt with in a separate lot. However, collaboration between the services in this lot and the Database Administration Services will be required even if the lots are won by different companies. Home Group have been on Oracle e-Business Suite since 2016 and the system is well embedded and kept up-to-date. Home Group have a stable and knowledgeable internal ERP Applications team that support day-to-day operations from a functional and technical point of view. The majority of issues and changes are deal with in-house. Further details are specified within the Specification document.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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 727,4781 median · 15.1 average (2,856 of 7,478 with a bid count)1.9 average (3,403 of 7,478 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.
