MVM009 (AP56-905)

Tristan Replacement - Procurement

Category: Funded

 

Milestones

(NB this revised timeline is based on the letters going to suppliers 26/10/16 but is subject to change as the standstill period is not yet complete)

13-Dec-2016 Contract Signed
23-Dec-2016 Closure
RAG Status

GREEN

Report completed by Colin Watt for October 2016

 

Achievements in Last Period

  • Project Board met 12/10/16, and discussed outcome of discussions between Gavin McLachlan and David Argyle; David chaired the meeting and outlined options, recommending that the contract be awarded to Supplier 1; this proposal was discussed by the Project Board and supported.
  • Award recommendation report was completed w/c 24/10/16 and signed off by Procurement and the Head of School.
  • Award and reject letters were issued to Suppliers on 26/10/16 - this is a significant step forward for the project.

 

Issues

  • The delay reaching a decision and the additional effort spent on protracted discussions has resulted in more budget being used than was anticipated to reach this point; the budget needs to be addressed in discussion with the Project Board.

 

Next Steps

  • Agree revised timeline and milestones.
  • Agree project governance with Head of School.
  • Arrange meetings with successful supplier to discuss expectations of relationship with University, implementation, and contract negotiations.
  • Review risks with Project Board.
  • Review budget and resourcing.

The project current status is GREEN
