Delivery is typically multi month and led by a multi disciplinary supplier team.
• Service Line B - Operational Procurement & Surge Delivery (Tactical)
Agile support to existing DWP commercial teams and/or to run smaller, lower value and less complex procurements and in life tasks. E.g., drafting ITT packs, managing evaluations, contracting and variations, mobilisation support, and MI/KPI improvements. Delivery may be resource as a service based (T&M) or fixed fee micro/small package deliverables. It will also enable short notice surge support.
