Miscellaneous business-related services. Procurement consultancy services. The provision by the successful tenderer of HR, finance, payroll and procurement, and potentially other, shared services to UK central Government. The shared services arrangement created under this procurement is expected to establish the first of a small number of providers, operating independently of a specific Government Department, to provide similar shared services to UK central Government. The agreement will enable the provision of the specified services to all UK Government Departments, Executive Agencies, Non-Ministerial Departments, Non-Ministerial Departmental Bodies and other Arms Length Bodies and any future successors to those organisations. For the avoidance of doubt there is no guarantee that any of the organisations identified (except the Department for Transport) will elect to procure services under the agreement. The organisations are identified for completeness – in order to provide legal certainty that they would be able to make use of the contract should they wish to do so. Contracts under the agreement will be for up to 10 years with options for earlier termination.
The initial business will be for the provision of significant services to the central Department for Transport (DfT), and four of its Executive Agencies: the Driving Standards Agency; the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency; the Vehicle Certification Agency; and the Highways Agency. These services will be secured from the new provider under a contract placed immediately after the agreement was awarded. This contract also provides for the migration of, and future provision of services to, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Vehicle Operator and Services Agency, and additional services for the Highways Agency.
The successful tenderer, arvato Limited has acquired the DfT Shared Service Centre (SSC) in Swansea (including accommodation and staff obligations and its assets). The contract has been awarded for 84 months plus an optional 36 month extension, if required.
