Description

This contract will provide Infrastructure capability and expertise for a broad range of projects in the Department for Education (DfE, the Buyer), across multiple alpha, beta and live Developments. Infrastructure & Platforms (I&P) Infrastructure Services (IS) runs several pre-defined, outcome based, small to medium sized projects and programmes designed to improve the service provided to the Department each year. On occasion, I&P IS also runs un-planned projects, responding to urgent un-anticipated departmental demand. This contract will mainly be used by the Infrastructure and Platforms team in the DfE but can also be used by any digital, data and technology (DDT) delivery portfolio or enabling team, and (with agreement) other DfE teams, at short notice, to support immediate Development outcome requirements.
