In plain English

The Scottish Prison Service wants to replace an old computer system (Prisoner Records 2) that currently runs on outdated Oracle technology. They need a supplier to migrate it to a modern, cloud-based system and then support and maintain it for 7 years (plus up to 6 more years if extended). The actual migration work must be completed within 18 months.

What the buyer wants

• Migrate the entire Prisoner Records 2 system from legacy Oracle Forms and Reports platform to a modern, modular, open-source technology stack • Deploy the new system in a secure cloud environment • Provide ongoing support and maintenance for the migrated system throughout the 7-year contract term • Ensure the migration is completed within a maximum of 18 months

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is almost certainly disqualified for small businesses: it requires significant technical expertise in legacy system migration, cloud infrastructure, ongoing managed services delivery, and almost certainly requires Baseline Personnel Security Standard clearance to work with Scottish Prison Service. The 7-year support commitment and scale of the project mean only established IT suppliers with substantial resources and security credentials are viable.

How to bid
