Lot Information

Lot 1

Procurement Information

The skill set required is extremely specialist. Due to the age of the system being used (which stems back to 1996), this skill set is not common. The individual recruited from Gravitas has in depth technical knowledge of the back-end system as well as the front-end functionality to assist both IT and HTR in keeping the Academy system running and assist with root cause analysis to help remedy where any errors may occur. This skillset is crucial to reduce the risk of business disruption and will serve as an additional control measure to keep the system running until go-live of the One Housing System.
