Cloud based workforce management software

The Eastern Green Link programme ("EGL") is being delivered as a Joint Venture ("JV") between Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission ("SHET") and National Grid Electricity Transmission ("NGET"). In order to support this capital programme SHET is going to market on behalf of itself and the JV partners for a new software application to support the workforce management of the staff delivering the EGL projects. In addition to the EGL projects, the workforce management software may separately be used for internal projects by the JV partners, including SHET and its SSENT Offshore business area. This capability encompasses all aspects of people planning, scheduling and allocation to ensure the timely and successful execution of the projects. The delivery team's capability focuses on resource management and forecasting or varying lengths (e.g. Monthly, Annual, 5years, 10years), recruitment tracking, and operational efficiency. It includes aspects of analytics, planning, and capacity management to ensure the project resource is optimised. The capability supports the creation of detailed people plans, alignment of team skills with project requirements. Furthermore, it integrates with project delivery tooling to provide a comprehensive view of people-related metrics, facilitating informed decision-making and quick response to any project changes or challenges. This capability is crucial for managing a large, geographically dispersed team and ensuring that each phase of the construction adheres to scheduled timelines and quality standards. At present, the Workforce Planning teams use manual processes which are updated on Excel and Visio. The updates require the resource manager to send multiple forms monthly, where managers are expected to input the relevant information regarding staff changes, new starters, leavers etc. which they then send back to the resource manager who then manually updates the organisation chart and forecasted staff plan. We anticipate the purchase of a Commercial Off The Shelf, Software As A Service, solution, from a skilled and experienced provider in this field. Current anticipated volumes of users (subject to change) is 135 managers and 3500 colleagues/resources to manage.
