Tender description

Who Speclialist Work With The Research and Innovation Funding Service team, specifically the Product Owner, Delivery Manager, Data team, Business Analysts and Infrastructure architect. What Specialists Work On Grants funding is a significant activity of government with over 1,000 different grant schemes, including RIFS, administered across government. RIFS represents a wider ambition across government to consider how grants funding can be consolidated across fewer platforms than currently. RIFS presents an opportunity to look at how research and innovation grants funding can be transformed in its design and execution as a user centred end-to-end service. This service aims to address pain points currently experienced by users, transforming the entire user experience. Grants funding for users should be easy and accessible, reflecting the excellent reputation of UK research and innovation.

The incumbent data architecture and analysis suppliers have made significant progress in articulating the data requirements at both high and more granular levels. There is a good understanding of the requirements but there is a continued requirement for a supplier to provide both strategic direction and day-to-day expertise to ensure that RIFS continues to fully understand how data is used, how it meets user needs and how it can be leveraged to exploit its full potential.
