As part of the IT Split Programme, the decision has been taken to proceed with a procurement process to select a single IT partner to deliver the split from shared technology and also manage areas of the Newham IT service following the split from oneSource IT.

This specific contract will be for consultancy and specialist advisory services during the procurement process that will award a contract to an IT partner as stated above, plus project management of all the technology change work to enable the split from oneSource and Havering.

The start date is 01/08/24 and is for 10 months with an optional extension which has no attendant value for 4 months.

A decision has taken by both the LBN and the London Borough of Havering (LBH) to exit the current oneSource shared IT service and transition to sovereign IT services for both boroughs.

A LBN requirement for their sovereign IT service is to award a Contract to an IT Partner to deliver technology change and provide a IT Managed Service on a 5 + 2-year basis.

LBN has therefore procured a Supplier to write the specification and compile the Tender pack to assist in the subsequent procurement process in awarding to the IT Partner.
