Expected Contract Length 6-12 months. Latest start date 1 Business Analyst & 1 Senior Business Analyst by 28th November. Why the Work is Being Done The Authority is working with 4 suppliers to deliver an integrated solution for the provision of Electronic Monitoring of offenders in England and Wales. As well as transitioning from legacy RF devices the programme will deliver new GPS devices for location monitoring. We require a team that will reside within the Authority’s Design function, with the following responsibilities: - defining technology and business architecture, - assuring deliverables from the various suppliers, - governing all design related activities across the programme, - ensuring the combined offerings form a high quality, integrated solution which meets MoJ and its stakeholders' needs and expectations. Problem to Be Solved We require a team of 3-4 (or more) analysts to support the Design team of the Electronic Monitoring Programme. A Business Analyst and a Senior Business Analyst are needed immediately, with the remainder of the team to be built up over the length of the contract. There may also be a future need for a Technical Architect. Who Are the Users The Programme goal: - Replace the existing curfew tag provision with current technology which can support equivalent services at reduced costs. - Introduce new GPS monitoring capability to improve the range of subject monitoring and drive greater efficiency and effectiveness. - Introduce a new case management system and portal that is accessible to all business users. - Build a robust and scalable operational service that is able to accommodate other tags and types of electronic monitoring in the future. - Optimise the benefits to be derived from each of the four selected suppliers as well as from the collective whole. Work Already Done The project is already at a stage where the operating model and business requirements have been defined and the solution is partly delivered. The team will be working on detailed designs and detailed functional processes to support the next stage of delivery. Existing Team The Design team is a small team comprising of technical, business and security architects and analysts who perform both a design and design assurance function. The members of the team are expected to work closely together and support each other across a range of activities to be performed over the lifecycle of the programme.
