Tender description
A contract for commercial and procurement services, from advisory to leading on or assisting the activities across the end-to-end procurement cycle for both complex and tactical projects/programmes. The contract will allow us to draw down on two distinct but integrated service lines: • Service Line A — Commercial Strategy & Complex Programmes (Outcome/Deliverables Led) Outcome/deliverable defined strategic work for larger or more complex portfolios/programmes/projects. This includes, for example, shaping category and sourcing strategies, designing complex and/or novel commercial models, developing negotiation strategies and benefits cases, and providing commercial assurance with structured knowledge transfer to DWP teams. 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.
