Transformational Change & Business Applications Consultancy Framework Agreement

Our Executive Team have set a stretching and far-reaching five-year vision for transformational change that will touch all aspects of our business; our working methods and environment, service delivery, data collection and management, processes, systems (business applications) and partnership arrangements.

A cross-directorate group of senior managers have led on discussions with stakeholders and developed a ‘critical path’ roadmap of activities and projects which will realise the vision set; this group will play an ongoing critical role in programme delivery.

We have an internal Programme Management Office taking responsibility for overseeing and governing projects, standardising delivery approaches and practices and ensuring that there is clarity on the status of the programme.

A Head of Transformation has recently been appointed with responsibility for delivering the organisation’s transformation vision, optimising the performance of the transformation programme, embedding transformation outputs and ensuring the continuous alignment of transformation activities with the organisation’s strategic direction.

We are seeking a transformation partner to support us through the complex challenges we are likely to face as we progress through our transformation journey. We’re looking to work alongside someone who will help guide us in seizing opportunities as they arise and assist in driving our transformation programme through to completion.

It is anticipated that we will award a call-off Contract for up to 18 months in total (initial 6 months with an option to extend up to a further 12 months (in 6-month periods)). However, Tai Tarian reserves the right to carry out a ‘mini-competition’ with all Providers under this Lot at the time of any extension period. We are particularly interested in how you will use your experience and unique skills gained from the field to embed best practice in achieving long-term transformational change.

Further information on the services to be provided and what Tai Tarian expects consultants to bring to the role can be found in the ITT.
