This is a large award for IT Services — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 36,449 valued IT Services tenders in our corpus.
The Authority is seeking to engage the market to work with The Synergy Programme and its stakeholders to ensure the delivery of best in class, Value for Money (VfM), shared Human Resources (HR) and Finance Business Process Service (BPS) solution, which meet the needs of service users.
The Synergy Programme has been established to bring together the individual Department plans in line with the Government Business Service (GBS) published Shared Services Strategy for Government: this includes building a common operating model, BPS, single technology, and single commercial strategy.
The Synergy Programme comprises the following central Government Departments (Departments) and their Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs). • Ministry of Justice (MoJ); • Department for Work and Pensions (DWP); • Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA); and • Home Office (HO).
DWP are currently the lead contracting authority for The Synergy Programme.
The prime driver of the Synergy Programme is to drive significant business transformation across four cluster Departments and their ALBs.
The Synergy Programme, together with the successful suppliers will further develop a new Common Operating Model (COM) and introduce a new user-centric service including common data standards.
The COM design will continually evolve throughout the delivery of the Programme.
As a result, benefits will also continue to evolve over time.
This will help identify additional benefits for the Programme and provide more robust data and narrative to justify the current benefits profile.
The Synergy Programme will achieve its objectives for transformation of the back office services through investing in the development of a COM to drive a high level of convergence, the introduction of a high-performing, user-centric Future Shared Services Organisation (FSSO), development of standardised processes and introduction of common data standards.
The COVID pandemic, and the challenging fiscal environment that has followed as a result, has heightened the drive and need for more effective and efficient delivery by all Government Departments.
Key to this ambition will be the ability to capture, manage and improve the quality of Finance and HR data to enable better informed decisions.
The Synergy Programme will drive significant business transformation across four major Departments and their ALBs in support of this ambition.
Additionally, the government has set out ambitious objectives to put sustainability at the heart of our government services.
