Background to Agile IT Services framework UKRI are looking to put a framework in place which will enable the rapid, agile resourcing of specialist IT services to meet agreed outcomes and deliverables while providing a time and materials payment structure. The intention of the framework is to allow buyers to outline a statement of work and the associated required resourcing services to deliver the work. For the avoidance of doubt, this framework does not include contingent labour. The setup of this framework will be whereby services of different types may be called-off at short notice against rate-card rates. This procurement framework will run over 4 years. The value of this framework will be £9.5m excluding VAT over the term of the four years. Demand over the duration of the framework agreement is difficult to predict, however an approximate 30+ temporary services are consistently in use across Business Systems and Innovation (BS&I) and Business Change to meet demand. This number increases / decreases based on project pipeline demand. Services can be provided from outside of the United Kingdom however these must be provided in UK hours and with English language speakers. All Services will be expected to comply with Customer IT Acceptable Usage, Cyber Security, Corporate Compliance policies, GDPR policies and relevant DBS Baseline Checks. Services are to be validated as capable of the Service Type descriptions by the Framework Supplier. Liability for performance and professional indemnity sits with the Framework Supplier. The structure of this framework will be over 9 different lots and suppliers are welcome to submit tenders for any of these lots. The framework value of £9.5m excluding VAT will be spread over the 9 different lots. The lots are broken down as follows:- Lot 1: Digital, Data and Technology capability Lot 2: User Centred Design Lot 3: Senior Data Roles Lot 4: Salesforce Lot 5: Workday Lot 6: Developer Lot 7: Solutions Lot 8: Porfolio and Programmes Lot 9: Functions
