Support for, and further development of, this suite is provided by a number of incumbent suppliers, with the largest service currently provided under a contracted service known as the Current Applications Outsource (AO) Service. The Current AO Contract is coming to an end, and the Agency is now seeking to award a new contract for Successor AO Service to continue support for these systems. This will be contracted immediately as part of this Procurement Exercise, along with the work to transition as swiftly as possible from the Current AO Service to the Successor AO Service. The Agency may require the continued development of the Successor AO Service from both a functional and technical perspective. The Agency is also embarking on the development of a completely new suite of systems which will replace the Current application Outsource. These new systems are collectively known as the Regulatory Management System (RMS). At this stage, the requirements for RMS are evolving along with the Agency's business requirements. During the Procurement Exercise, aspects of this may be worked up in outline. However such elements, along with the related work to transition from AO to RMS, is an optional package of services which will be fully worked up with the Successful Bidder in accordance with the terms of the Contract if the Agency decides to proceed with commissioning the RMS and subject to agreement between the parties as and when the requirement becomes sufficiently stable post-procurement. Please see 'additional text' for further information.
