The Department for Education recently awarded a contract for the position of Digital Project Manager as part of the Data Exchange project, aimed at enhancing data movement solutions for education purposes. The procurement was classified under IT services and had an awarded value of £21,582. This procurement process followed a selective method, utilising a call-off from an established framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy and software development, particularly those with experience in agile project management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise would be particularly well-suited to engage in future contracts related to data services within the education sector. The initiative aims to foster innovative solutions and reduce manual efforts in data handling, thus inviting firms that can deliver effective digital solutions to participate in similar projects moving forward.

## Notice

The Digital Project Manager will help the Data Exchange project team get ready for the core beta work, which begins in April 2018. Additional information: Data Exchange aims to provide modern, flexible ways of moving data that deliver workable solutions for both DfE and system suppliers, whilst also helping to reduce the human effort associated with validating and moving data. Development is based on using the Agile delivery methodology, this allows the project to design, build and test the service (with end users) at the same time. The project is preparing to move into the core Beta phase in April 2018 and work is in hand to recruit a permanent Project Manager (PM) with the relevant digital and agile skills for Beta. Building on the work completed during the Alpha phase, a temporary experienced Agile PM with expert knowledge of existing data collection is required to help the project get ready for Beta. The project has chosen to use a single sourcing route, through an established compliant procurement framework to bring in this temporary resource.
