In March 2021, Government Business Services launched the 'Shared Services Strategy for Government'. This strategy created the concept of five clusters of departments, each cluster sharing a common set of process, common cloud-based ERP and ancillary systems and a single shared service centre to deliver corporate services across finance, HR and payroll.
The Matrix Programme (formerly the 'policy' cluster) brings together nine departments. These nine departments comprise an amalgamation of those who have already moved to cloud or are yet to move to a cloud-based solution; these are:
Non-Cloud Users
Cabinet Office (CO)
Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT)
Department for Energy, Security and Net Zero (DESNZ)
Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)
Department for Business and Trade (DBT)
Cloud Users
Attorney General's Office (AGO)
Department for Education (DfE)
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
HM Treasury (HMT)
In addition, a limited number of Arm's Length Bodies (ALBs) will form part of the initial Programme activities. These are:
UK Space Agency (UKSA)
Insolvency Service (INSS)
Government Property Agency (GPA)
Civil Service Commission (CSC)
Social Mobility Commission (SMC)
Committee on Standards in Public Life (CSPL)
Security Vetting Appeals Panel (SVAP)
Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB)
House of Lords Appointment Commission (HOLAC)
Building Digital UK (BDUK)
Trade Remedies authority (TRA)
Committee on Climate Change (CCC)
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
National Infrastructure Commission (NIC)
UK Debt Management Office (UK DMO)
Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR)
UK Government Investments (UKGI)
Standards and Testing Agency (STA)
Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA)
Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA)
In alignment with published Shared Services Strategy there's potential for additional ALBs to onboard, however each will be assessed on a individual basis, subject to government principles around the management of public money and HM Treasury green book guidance.
The Matrix Programme, with DSIT acting as the lead contracting authority, will design, develop, and procure the new technologies and capabilities that are required to help modernise their 'back-office' systems. It will deliver a high quality, and good value, system and support service to help streamline transactions and activities that underpin the way departments are run.
In delivering against the objectives of the Shared Services strategy, the Programme will act as a key enabler for change within the Corporate Service landscape, replacing end-of-life technology and overcoming challenges of existing arrangements within each department to deliver substantial cashable and non-cashable benefits for the cluster.
The new shared service will focus on convergence across data, policies and processes, enabled by a scalable system, increasing interoperability across government, with the procurement bringing together up to (potentially but not guaranteed):
48k users based across the UK
15 instances of 9 different software solutions across the nine departments
10 service providers, varying in maturity, service provision and position.
The Authority is seeking to procure a combined single instance SaaS Solution along with a Systems Integrator, on behalf of the departments within the Matrix Programme, to ensure the delivery of high quality, VfM (Value for Money), shared HR (Human Resources), Finance services and Payroll which meet the needs of service users.
In order to meet the objectives of the Shared Services Strategy, outcomes and user needs of the Departments within the Matrix Programme, the Programme is seeking to purchase a Cloud based service leveraging the capabilities offered by a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) ERP platform and associated technologies, and the necessary configuration, integration and business change / transformation.
