Is there a current incumbent and if so will they be reapplying? No. This is a new requirement 2. Could you please confirm whether the role is inside or outside of IR35? NICE has done a pre-engagement test using the HMRC Employment status tool, the result on the test is "The intermediaries legislation does not apply to this engagement" 3. It appears that "1. Experience of reverse-engineering existing data sources and developing corresponding physical and logical data models" and "8. Ability to reverse-engineer existing data sources and develop corresponding physical and logical data models"are the same in the essential skills and experience section. This seems to be replicated for most of the questions. Is this correct? Yes, 1 is demonstrating "experience of" and 8 is demonstrating you have the skills i.e. "ability to" 4. This is a rather extensive a broad set of requirements, engineering through to analysis. The scope of what's needed is likely to be more than the day rate quoted in the advertisment. Is the scope or the day rate up for re-evaluation? No. This is our budget for this work. 5. Can you confirm the IR35 status? NICE has done a pre-engagement test using the HMRC Employment status tool, the result on the test is "The intermediaries legislation does not apply to this engagement" 6. What technology stack are the team currently working with or is there a preference for certain technologies? The team were not quite clear whether the question is referring to the tech stack that holds the data to be analysed or the tools to be used for the actual work, i.e. capturing the models. Trying to cover both: The data to be analysed is held in a range of spreadsheets, databases and proprietary systems. The most prevalent technologies in use are MS Office products.If this doesn't answer the question, please clarify and re-submit the question
