The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1Our existing digital estate is not fit for purpose and does not deliver the outputs…AwardedRenewal
Our existing digital estate is not fit for purpose and does not deliver the outputs required by ETF. This is because of inherited/legacy systems and a lack of clear digital strategy and investment. This means that systems performance impacts operations, and represents an increased risk of data breaches, increased reputational risk, and potential negative financial impact caused by an inability to develop systems and new services. We are therefore seeking a supplier who will: lead on our digital transformation programme to achieve our desired target state, including LMS at its core; be a strategic learning partner for the ETF who shares a vision and a roadmap for the future; and build an effective minimum viable product (MVP) in early 2023, to enable the ‘as is’ digital estate to consolidate with the expansion of the target state.
