The lotProcurement structure

single lot · no lot value published
Lot #1TfL has carefully considered its entire requirements for Workforce Management

TfL has carefully considered its entire requirements for Workforce Management. Whilst "Core WFM Capability" has high commercial availability in the marketplace, core WFM functionality which incorporates all four of the "Critical Success Criteria", identified by TfL as a result of its failed 2014 WFM procurement is available only from a single provider. ​

The Smart Deployment and Geofencing of Passport is unique and shall allow TfL Operations to actively manage emergency situations across its network in real-time.​

UKG is the only economic operator that can provide this combined WFM capability which critically, also requires minimal integration with the existing TfL SAP estate to create a fully native integrated single solution. Additional information: 3 Year Fixed Term plus one year optional extension.

Delivery: London
Extensions: An elective subsequent option for a further 12 month renewal

Why no open competition

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

Each potential route to market for each component of the overall OWFM solution was evaluated for its relative benefits and risks.

The recommended route to market chosen (Dimensions via GCloud/Passport via Supplier Terms) shall ultimately produce two forms of contract:

Dimensions and the associated Professional Services- shall be compliantly called off under GCloud terms which shall produce a standard CCS GCloud Call off agreement for the Dimensions software and associated professional services.

Passport and the associated Professional Services- shall be procured under a direct award by Single Source for the following reasons:

Kronos Systems is the only economic operator that has the exclusive intellectual property rights to provide TfL with its specified technical requirements which contain TfL's Critical Success Criteria, listed below.

  1. The solution must be proven to work with SAP ECC6.0, S/4HANA & SuccessFactors for Payroll and recognised as such by SAP. ​
  2. A seamless end user experience (whereby the solution is able to present TfL core HR data) to end users in such a way they need not 'flip' between multiple screens or applications ​
  3. A comprehensive single approach to service management to TfL. Singular accountabilities (with SLA's) between the software providers of the overall solution suite​
  4. To meet TfL minimal Must Have functional and non-functional requirements​

​
