This notice will result in the appointment of a Systems Integrator (SI) who can provide services across requirements, design, blueprint, proof of Concept (PoC), build, test, deploy, hyper care, rollout/migrate, and ongoing service management for future stages of the service to implement additional capabilities/services, as well as a range of other related services. This may also include the support of the solution once it is implemented.
The suppliers appointed on the contract may also be required to deliver the following kind of services: Project Management, business change management, process design, requirements analysis, solution design, service design, technical advice and planning, quality control, design assurance, system integration, testing, business continuity management, transition into support / provision of support, service retirements, security, and a variety of other services required by YWS from time to time.
