Detailed required will be provided on completion of an NDA. Please register your details below to obtain the NDA documentation. - The project to be completed over 6 months, dependent how much resource the service provider is able to place on the project. Bidders must provide a clear breakdown of their proposed timeframes and approaches within their bidder response. - We understand the standard approach to this type of build is to work in sprints, however we are flexible on our approach, we expect the supplier to provide details of their approach in the bid documents. - The successful supplier will need to identify any equipment and the technical specifications required to run and complete this project. However, the hardware will be advertised as a separate procurement activity (once all the equipment has been identified). - We are seeking a supplier with extensive understanding of Microsoft business and Windows PowerApps technology (or equivalent) to utilise with our scope and connect with other Windows technology. Associated costs e.g. licenses fee for the build are expected to be included in the supplier bid. - The successful supplier of this procurement bid will need to identify any additional licenses required to host the system.
