Award of SSP Cutover & Hypercare Manager

Tender description

The Scottish Government is delivering a flagship change programme to improve the performance and efficiency of how corporate shared services are provided to core Scottish Government and other public bodies in Scotland. With significant multi-year investment in technology planned, the corporate Shared Services Programme (SSP) will deliver the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud, a modular based cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution at an overall cost of around £20m. The SSP will deploy the solutions and platforms required to enable operational and cultural change to meet user needs and provide a better customer experience. The scope of the programme is across HR, Finance, (RTR, EPM, PTP & OTC) for core organisations and budgeting/forecasting and financial consolidation across the wider public sector. Our initial ambition is to replace old on premise customised technology to new cloud based integrated ERP / EPM Solutions, to allow the credible running of modern finance function with robust data structures and the basics of a customer and service driven management culture. The Programme will also provide a foundation for further growth to support the government’s wider vision for shared services and the ability to be a data driven organisation. As Cutover and Hypercare Manager you’ll be responsible for establishing and executing the cutover and hypercare plans for the Programme. You’ll work with the appropriate workstream leads and key stakeholders to ensure the cutover plan is effectively created and delivered, including transition to business as usual activities. This role will be hands-on and will require the role holder to provide expert advice and timely decision making, ensuring the cutover and hypercare meets time, cost, and quality measures.
