The Digital Partner contract has two fundamental purposes:-
-To complement and supplement in-house Digital skills that will enable ISD to mitigate the risks associated with legacy systems; to ensure the infrastructure, applications and data estate is kept up-to-date and maintained in accordance with best Digital management practices; and to lead innovation, exploit Digital practices and technologies and be in the best position possible to deliver current and future services effectively.
- To measurably enhance the capabilities of teams and individuals in ISD at each phase by providing skills and knowledge transfer that builds sustainable capability in Digital methods and tools. This will also increase the self-sufficiency of leadership roles to enable ISD to embed such methods and skills across its teams. ISD works in close collaboration with business areas in ARE, so a secondary element for the Digital Partner will be to more broadly work with ISD and business areas to embed Digital practices in policy and service design in an evidenced way.

- Change A change in the maximum contract value from 6 million GBP to 8 million GBP. In line with clause 5.2 of the contract, the term will be extended for a 12 month period from the expiry of the Initial Term. Contract performance during this period can only be up to and shall not exceed the revised maximum contract value., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This further uplift has been brought about by urgent and unforeseen critical Ministerial requests different from those which arose at the time of the first extension to the contract value. We are planning to go to competition imminently for a successor contract. The spend of the additional contract value will be planned via a series of Statements of Work that will take us to a sensible end point and include any required handover to another contractor.
