RFP - Technical and Support Services Panel Refresh 2023
Tender ID: 529806
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Ministry established its Technical and Support Services (TSS) Panel in 2020. This Request for Proposal (RFP) relates to a refresh of that panel. We are seeking Proposals from Respondents
wishing to be considered for addition to the existing TSS Panel. Existing TSS Panel members do not need to provide a Proposal in response to this RFP in order to retain their place on the TSS
Panel. However, if an existing TSS panel member wishes to be considered for any category of service that is not already included in its panel membership, it is welcome to submit a Proposal in
relation to that or those additional categories of service.
The Ministry has an ongoing need for the specialised Technical and Support Services that the TSS Panel provides to support its capability projects during their Capability Definition and Delivery
phases. These services were those that were out of the scope of existing All-of-Government (AoG) panels when the TSS Panel was established, and continue to fall outside the scope of AOG panels.
The Technical and Support Services that are in scope include but are not limited to:
(1) Providing support to the Crown in its preparation of business cases.
(2) Undertaking cost-benefit analyses.
(3) Development and testing of user requirements, system requirements, ILS requirements, and associated documentation.
(4) Development of safety cases.
