Description
YPO is looking to establish a Framework for the provision of a comprehensive range of Software Application Solutions to support UK public sector organisations and replaces the previous YPO agreement 1095. This framework is for the provision of a new solution, amendment, or upgrade of an existing solution, from a single boxed order through to the full deployment of a software solution and the associated ancillary services. This may include commercial off the shelf software (COTS), open-source software, software licenses or niche and bespoke software. Where required, hosting services may be provided by the Supplier, along with the monitoring and management of the entire solution and can be delivered as a subscription-based Software as a Service model. The framework will incorporate 15 Lots. Goods may be purchased under each Lot, where they are relevant and a requirement to the usage of the overall purchased software requirements. Each Lot has been designed to provide a full end-to-end digital solution, within the category area detailed in the Lot Title and will incorporate AI functionalities. The end customer will place orders directly with the Supplier following an Award Without Competition or Competitive Selection Process on a "contract" basis whereby the Supplier will deliver direct to the end customer on an agreed basis. Invoices and payments are dealt with directly between the end customer and the Supplier.
