Services

We are focused on:

  • Providing brief, tightly focused interventions – including free advice
  • More structured work – such as helping to write a Statement of Requirements or design an evaluation process to achieve specific objectives
  • Capturing the learning from each intervention and disseminating it to the local government community

 

Our medium-term objective is the development of a protocol for procuring complex software, owned by local authorities, which reduces both procurement risk and project risk through consistent, rational processes.

We are always happy to discuss your case management procurements and offer informal advice, at no charge. Sometimes all you need is a specialist to sanity check your approach.

Some examples of chargeable services are listed below:

  • Creating the Statement of Requirements – workshopping requirements with stakeholders to arrive at an agreed SoR
  • Reviewing an existing SoR – you may have done the work, but recognise that a domain expert may be able to identify risks which wouldn’t be obvious to a generalist
  • Reviewing the evaluation model – to mitigate vendor dishonesty and balance price with quality effectively

 

We will always treat our work with you as confidential. We request permission to produce case study materials as part of our mission to improve the procurement methodology for software systems in local government. Any such case studies would be subject to customer approval

Please call on 07858 081556 to discuss your specific requirements.
