Reporting issues management process digitisation

Description

The Defence Reform Act 2014 established the Single Source Regulations Office ("SSRO") as an independent regulator of the UK Government's procurement of single source military equipment and services. The SSRO is the custodian of the single source procurement framework and has several functions under the Act and the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014. The SSRO is seeking to appoint specialist advice on the costs and benefits of technology that could better enable reporting issues management. The SSRO's Corporate Plan 2020-2023 (Objective 7) highlights and explains our ambition to enable the digital transformation of how we operate and the way we deliver our services and functions. In pursuit of this objective the SSRO has been considering the potential for technology to assist in the management of its response to reporting issues - those issues related to the statutory reporting system within which suppliers with contracts regulated by the Act and Regulations report about those contracts and their operations. To further explore opportunities to digitise its reporting issues management process, the SSRO wishes to procure the services of a suitably qualified expert in the application of the Microsoft technology stack including Power Platform products to advise on how we can deploy currently available technologies to best effect in support of our ambitions.
