* Improved audit and reporting capabilities on the Joiners, Movers, Leavers (JML) and Risk Management processes for access management.

Deployment into Scottish Water

* Ownership and completion of all relevant deliverables to support the Scottish Water internal change governance and framework, including stakeholder management.
* Delivery of communications and training as agreed appropriate with Scottish Water. Evidence of existing training already incorporated with vendors own solution.


Policy, Support and Maintenance

* Consistent policies across Scottish Water for on-premises and hosted (cloud) services.
* Ownership and completion of all relevant governance deliverables in line with Scottish Water Digital Change framework.

* Tools and supporting processes to manage the user lifecycle from provisioning through to de-provisioning of accounts and access rights, authentication & applications.
* Increased automation, efficiency and speed of JML process.
* Full audit and reporting capabilities on the JML and Risk Management processes for access management.

The solution must be able to support all Scottish Water employees and third-party identities- mapping of these requirements is required (includes Europe (EU) and other offshore locations).

Data storage must follow Scottish Water policies on geographical requirements.

Although remote working is likely, where face to face collaboration is necessary, it is expected Scottish Water's principal office at The Bridge, 6 Buchanan Gate, Glasgow G33 6FB will be deemed the project base address, and any travel or associated cost would be absorbed by the vendor and not Scottish Water.
