ACE Private Sector Partner - Successor Procurement Launch Webinar

The Home Office has initiated a procurement for a successor Private Sector Partner for the Accelerated Capability Environment.

There has never been a time when partnership between sectors to achieve innovation, collaboration, engagement, and pace, has been more central to the outcomes needed for the good of the UK. The Accelerated Capability environment, ACE, has been successful in this mission since it was founded in 2017. During that time it has provided £100M+ of innovation opportunity for mission critical public services. The Home Office wishes to maintain ACE and further develop ACE’s value and impact following the end of its existing Private Sector Partner contract with Vivace. This existing contract will wind-down between April 2022 and March 2023.

ACE’s capabilities are a strategic asset for the public sector as a sustained and widely accessible mission-led innovation platform. The Home Office is therefore committed to the strategic development of ACE to reach its full potential. The Home Office intends to procure broadly like-for-like services that will provide continuity while also enabling the continuous development of ACE.

We would like to invite potential suppliers to an online procurement launch event to be hosted on the afternoon of 26th January 2022. At this session the Home Office will:

1) Introduce an overview of ACE – its founding and mission impact to date

2) Describe the scope of services provided by the current Private Sector Partner

3) Provide an overview of procurement activities to date

4) Describe the procurement scope and timeline, including key dates

If you would like to receive an invite to this event, please register your interest and names and details of attendees with [email protected] by the 19th January
