Technical requirements: DCMS is seeking to set up a single supplier framework focused on improving and optimising the delivery of the department's IT data strategy.
DCMS requires a supplier to undertake the following methodology for each business requirement/statements of work: discovery, design, develop, deliver and support DCMS’ current business processes, reviewing existing data sources and flows and uncovering critical areas for improvement; in particular, applying AI/ML techniques, as well as identifying quick wins for immediate implementation.
A supplier is required to develop ‘data strategies’, data governance principles, the solution vision and implement the roadmap for an accredited data platform for various DCMS teams. Although largely understood, the landscape of what the supplier needs to support DCMS with is yet largely to be completely defined, as the requirements of departmental teams are at various stages of development, with some lacking maturity.
