Lot Division
1 | Digital Technology Projects and Services This Digital Technology Projects and Services Lot will provide 3rd party supplier delivery and support for digital technology services for Public Bodies. Typically these digital technology projects or services will have known outcomes, objectives; deliverables; milestones and identified methodologies (e.g. agile and PRINCE2). Digital technology projects can be delivered in grouped or isolated phases including an end to end transformation of digital services from strategy/business need development right through to retire/exit or for ad-hoc requirements as part of a wider programme or project. These digital technology projects often need expertise to assist organisations to help develop and deliver specific pieces of work on a service, programme or project. Whilst not all digital projects use agile there is a growing use of the individual phases; Discovery, Alpha, Beta and Live. Suppliers may be be asked to undertake the end to end project or the independent phases.
