The type of contract has ranged from IT systems; licences and key resources, to electric vehicles and furniture.<\/p>\n<p>The volume and intensity of the support required has resulted in the creation of a Dynamic Purchasing system to support specialist Social Program Management Resources and Projects. \u00a0The contracts let through this have been pivotal to the successful launch of all benefits to date.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, we hear how this significant project contributes to our four outcomes for public procurement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good for Businesses and their Employees,<\/li>\n<li>Good for Society<\/li>\n<li>Good for Places and Communities<\/li>\n<li>Open and Connected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Good for Businesses and their Employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since late 2016, the team have delivered over 200 procurement exercises and engaged a number of key and highly specialised Interim staff to support this implementation of Social Security Scotland.\u00a0 This has ranged from ICT platforms and development contracts to procuring specialist licences and key digital staff.<\/p>\n<p>Suppliers have ranged from SME organisations to large multi-national concerns.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Good for Society<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Supported Businesses were engaged to provide furniture for Social Security Scotland premises in Glasgow and Dundee.<\/li>\n<li>Supporting Scotland\u2019s #LetsDoNetZero ambitions, the team successfully procured Social Security Scotland\u2019s first batch of three Hybrid vehicles. This was closely followed by three fully electric vehicles. Social Security Scotland have recently added a further three electric vehicles to their fleet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Good for Places and Communities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As a result of these contracts, 29 Modern Apprentices from areas of deprivation throughout Scotland will\/have been engaged and given the opportunity to develop a successful career.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Open and Connected<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The team have worked closely with both Social Security Directorate and Social Security Scotland, adapting the procurement approach to reflect the values of each organisation.<\/p>\n<p>They also collaborated with other government departments to share knowledge and experience of agile procurement and to share good practice, this included Ministry of Defence; Cabinet Office; Department of Work and Pensions; Companies House and the Insolvency Service.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Applying Lessons Learned to support Agile Delivery<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many lessons have been learned and new approaches implemented.\u00a0 This has been particularly noticeable in the approach to pricing which now takes account of a greater reliance on home working and potentially changing working environments. Schedules have also been improved to support the use of Statements of Work \u2013 the preferred agile approach to delivery.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adapting Terms and Conditions during COVID<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Terms and conditions were also adapted to reflect the impact of COVID \u2013 this included\u00a0 the addition of specific COVID-19 clauses to accommodate remote and off-shore working during the crisis.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Customer Testimonials<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI have never had a poor level of service- it is always friendly, efficient and such a fantastic support. The team have always went out of their way to help me in any way they could\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe support received from the team was excellent in all areas!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always received excellent service. They are very collaborative and work so well with us\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe advice, guidance and support provided has been outstanding\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile there has been quite a significant overturn of key staff in the past year, however there has been no gap in service and new staff have very quickly learned the programme and provided support where required\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr
