Notice Title

Provision of Responsive Flexible Analytical Support Services for UKVI Strategy Support

Notice Description

This Work Task contract is for analytical support over a 6 month period, with the option to extend for a further 6 months, with individual requests for support taking from around 4 to 12 weeks per task. Full-time analytical support for the entirety of the project period will be needed in some instances but not for others. For example, support may be needed to scope requirements, then to analyse data and/or report findings, but there may be a gap while data is being processed (by another team) when support is not needed. The exact requirements will be defined as clearly as possible at the start of each project. The UKVI strategy team work across a variety of fast paced projects with changing priorities, so it's not possible to outline in advance exactly what the service would deliver. However, we can outline as a further indication of what might be required by the types of deliverables already provided to UKVI strategy which could fall under this service banner including: Developing a proof of concept simulation model to show what analysis could be available to support the design of processes for the new Asylum National Intake Unit; and Light-touch multi-criteria decision analysis to support decision making on the future locations of asylum reporting centers. The budget for the requirement is PS72,000.00 excld. VAT. 1.
