## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is seeking Agile Professional Services to support the deployment of Axon and EDC, with a total contract value of £286,700. This procurement falls under the IT services industry and is currently in the Award stage, having been awarded to Agile Solutions (GB) Ltd on 31st July 2020. The contract period commenced on 3rd August 2020 and will extend until 31st March 2021. The procurement was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period having closed on 7th July 2020. The project is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity allows companies specialised in IT consulting, software development, and support services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), to compete in providing critical services for DWP. Businesses well-suited to respond should have experience with governance processes around technology deployment, data management solutions, and the ability to evolve their services iteratively to meet the needs of DWP while enhancing data utilisation across the organisation.

## Notice

DWP is seeking to future proof it's architecture and capability through the deployment of a Business Glossary and Data Catalogue. This will allow the department to make better use its data, its lineage and identify opportunities for efficiencies and risk reduction. Governance processes around technology selection and design have already been carried out and the next step is to move to deploy the infrastructure, tooling (Axon & EDC) and work with the key stakeholders on business processes, adoption and an operating model. The initiative will deliver iteratively, evolving over time - however the initial focus is on laying down foundational framework, services and capability for the Data & Analytics division within DWP. During this exercise, DWP would like to understand how the framework can be extended beyond the bounds of D&A providing value to other areas of DWP.
