## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently at the Award stage for the procurement of a Digital Strategic Partner for its Information Systems Division (ISD). This contract, with an estimated value of £6 million, is aimed at enhancing digital capabilities within government services, thereby ensuring the management of infrastructure, applications, and data. The duration of this active contract is set for 720 days, having been signed on 29 October 2020. It forms part of the broader digital strategy initiative which is designed to integrate modern digital practices into governmental operations, located in Glasgow, UK.

This procurement opportunity presents valuable prospects for businesses specialising in digital services and technology solutions, particularly those with expertise in enhancing digital infrastructure and skills development. Companies that can demonstrate innovative digital practices and a capability for knowledge transfer will find this contract appealing. As the contract targets both complementary and supplementary services to enhance the internal capabilities of ISD, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on collaborative digital transformations are especially well-suited to compete for this contract.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Digital Partner contract has two fundamental purposes:- -To complement and supplement in-house Digital skills that will enable ISD to mitigate the risks associated with legacy systems; to ensure the infrastructure, applications and data estate is kept up-to-date and maintained in accordance with best Digital management practices; and to lead innovation, exploit Digital practices and technologies and be in the best position possible to deliver current and future services effectively. - To measurably enhance the capabilities of teams and individuals in ISD at each phase by providing skills and knowledge transfer that builds sustainable capability in Digital methods and tools. This will also increase the self-sufficiency of leadership roles to enable ISD to embed such methods and skills across its teams. ISD works in close collaboration with business areas in ARE, so a secondary element for the Digital Partner will be to more broadly work with ISD and business areas to embed Digital practices in policy and service design in an evidenced way.
