Decision Maker: GM Deputy Mayor, Group Chief Finance Officer
Decision status: For Determination
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Following competition Robiquity emerged as the
preferred supplier. As G-Cloud 14 was the selected route, a
shortlisting exercise was undertaken and clarifications questions
sent out to the short-listed suppliers to determine the overall
cost to GMP. Robiquity provided the best value to GMP.
The Deputy Mayor approves the tender and award
of a 3 year contract for an Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and
Hyper-automation partner following a Crown Commercial Supplier
G-Cloud 14 call-off process, to Robiquity, with the option to
extend for a further 1 year. The likely value of the 4 years spend
would be circa £4 million.
What alternatives were considered and why were
these rejected?
To go to tender:
• Do nothing – rejected as GMP currently do not have a
development partner and this initiative is seen as critical for GMP
to realise the efficiencies possible from RPA and Hyper
Automation.
• Undertake a bespoke procurement exercise (OJEU)
–rejected as there is a suitable framework available.
Following the G-Cloud process, the supplier which met GMP’s
requirement and offered the best value was selected.
