## Summary

The Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is currently engaged in an open procurement process for a tender titled "Information Technology - Data Strategies and Delivery". This initiative falls within the services industry category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The tender was published on 19 April 2020, and submissions will be accepted until 18 May 2020. The anticipated contract period is set to commence on 9 June 2020 and conclude by 31 May 2022. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, which invites all interested suppliers to participate in the bidding process.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those with capabilities in AI and machine learning techniques. Companies that can develop comprehensive data strategies and governance principles, as well as improve existing data delivery processes, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given their focus on innovation and tailored solutions that align with DCMS's requirements for optimising data management and delivery.

## Notice

DCMS is seeking to set up a single supplier framework focused on improving and optimising the delivery of the department's IT data strategy. DCMS requires a supplier to undertake the following methodology for each business requirement/statements of work: Discovery, Design, Develop, Deliver & Support DCMS' current business processes, reviewing existing data sources and flows, and uncovering critical areas for improvement; in particular, applying AI/ML techniques, as well as identifying quick wins for immediate implementation. A supplier is required to develop 'data strategies', data governance principles, the solution vision and implement the roadmap for an accredited data platform for various DCMS teams. Although largely understood, the landscape of what the supplier needs to support DCMS with is yet largely to be completely defined, as the requirements of departmental teams are at various stages of development, with some lacking maturity.
