Description

Request for Information (RFI): DE&S Intranet Context Brief: The DE&S intranet provides an essential mechanism for the dissemination of DE&S corporate communications, information, and guidance to DE&S staff. The intranet is key element of the DE&S internal communications channel mix, and increasingly so over the last number of years with staff primarily working from home. This will continue as smarter working will mean higher levels of remote working in comparison to pre-pandemic levels. The current platform (Intranet) sits on SharePoint Online Classic. DE&S is exploring options for the future of the intranet to meet the needs of its employees now and for the future.
