The British Council require consultancy services to help us move forward with our digital transformation in, primarily, Exams business (and occasionally our English business). We are seeking to create a framework of digital and technology consultants who can supplement (and sometimes lead) cross-discipline teams. We are looking for experts who can coach our internal teams (through doing). Experts include Delivery Leads (Agile), Front and Backend developers / Engineers (JavaScript, Node, C#, .net, etc.), Quality engineers, architects, and cloud infrastructure experts (Azure / AWS). This framework has two key objectives: • Help integrate and build new services and customer experience, against a new architecture and platform for supporting our Exams business. • Improve our own internal staff develop their ability to deliver, without the need of consultancy services in the future.
