Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The Welsh Government collects different sets of statutory pupil and institutional level data, from maintained schools and other educational settings in Wales, at set points throughout the academic year. The format for these datasets is as xml file outputs from school MIS, submitted through Local Authorities to the Welsh Government via the secure, browser-based data transfer system, Data Exchange Wales initiative (DEWi), which feeds into the database and analysis system DEWi SD. DEWi and DEWi SD are managed by the WG who owns the intellectual property rights.
The Welsh Government wishes to establish a two lot framework. Lot 1 will be awarded to a single supplier and will provide for for the maintenance, support and development of the secure, browser-based data transfer system. Lot 2 of the framework will have the scope to encompass other IT and software needs which are likely to include, but not be limited to, development of systems for xslt validation, xsd schemas and xslt build of summary reports. These systems are likely to use Microsoft .Net architecture (C#) to develop ASP applications using SQL databases. A maximum number of 3 suppliers will be awarded a place on lot 2 and any requirements arising under this lot will be subject to competition.
The Welsh Government, on behalf of the Welsh Ministers, will be conducting this procurement exercise through the etenderwales portal https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk Tender documents and other information must be downloaded from and returned through this portal. If you require any further assistance the BravoSolution helpdesk is available on:
Email: help@bravosolution.co.uk Phone: 0800 368 4852 Full information in accessing the portal is found in Section VI.3. of this notice.
