Ofgem will require the Supplier to deploy highly skilled project teams or individuals to deliver against a defined set of requirements, within an agreed and signed ‘Statement of Work’ (SOW) along with clear delivery and payment milestones for individual programmes / projects / requirements. The nature of requirements will include, but not be limited to, consultancy and professional services, to research, test, design, build, release, iterate, support, project manage or retire digital services. As part of the requirement, Ofgem will be looking to deploy specialists for short, medium, and potentially longer-term assignments in areas such as: * User experience and design * Performance analysis and data * Security * Technical service delivery * Software development * Infrastructure * Support and operations * Testing and auditing * User research * Project Management * IT engineering, including technical leads and DevOps * The Supplier may be expected to sub-contract outside resource where they are unable to directly deliver Ofgem's requirements due to technical speciality or within a reasonable timescale. Ofgem would expect all services within the contract to be delivered “off-payroll”, outside of IR35. Tenderers should expect to provide their own equipment, but may be required to use Ofgem equipment or a VPN solution in order to securely access and update sensitive documentation and content.
