Description

The Central Procurement Directorate is placing this transparency notice to alert economic operators of its plan to modify a contract in accordance with Regulation 72. 1. (b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The scope of this contract remains true to the original procurement and the services required are as specified. The contract is being modified up to the value of 2 400 000 GBP. The next critical milestones involve the development of enhanced capability for the EU Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS), refinement of the key controls to the claims process, advance payments for October 2017, processing 95 % of Basic Payment Scheme payments to farmers by December 2017 and meeting an EU mandated 50 percent uptake target for DAERA's Geospatial Aid Application (GSAA). This is coupled with increasingly complicated requirements for new services, such as the integration of Northern Ireland Food and Animal Information System (NIFAIS) into DAERA enterprise environment and integration and upgrading of Environmental Marine Fisheries Group (EMFG) systems (70) into DAERA environment.
