Can you please clarify - How often the consultant will need to travel to other sites. is this negotiable? - Would travel be expensed? Travel and expensesis not paid separately and should be considered to be part of the day rate quoted. Travel to other sites would need to be on an as and when basis and is not quantifiable at this stage, hence the need for flexibility from the supplier. 3. Hello I would like some clarification around the points below · Is the Collaboration & Networks Programme – Identity Lead Architect a security focused role? Are you looking for a Cloud Security Architect, with a technical security background or a Technical Infrastructure Architect with an exposure to Cloud & Security? · Is there any working from home option? The requirement is for a Microsoft Technical Infrastrucutre Architect with experience of designing. implementing and integrating on premise and Cloud security controls for IaaS, PaaS and SaaS environments.Very limited ability to work from home as the successful candidate needs to work with the other Programme team members.
