Notice Information

Notice Title

Multi Disciplinary Digital Specialist (C9963)

Notice Description

The Department recognise that demand for some skills in the digital sector is high, creating resourcing challenges. In addition, the nature of digital transformational activity using a project-based model requires flexible resourcing. Consequently, the Department has a need for third-party digital skills and uses various Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Frameworks to meet this demand. In order to allow for an anticipated surge in digital resourcing requirements to support the delivery of transformation activities and DWP's 2030 strategy, the Department is putting in place this supplementary Multi-Disciplinary Digital Specialists contract to provide additional digital resource capacity and to support future requirements.
