Anticipated Time Commitment:

• Initially full-time to get the model created in the shortest practical timeframe for tender.
• Likely to reduce to part-time (c.0.5) once the tender has been issued

Role / Deliverables

Develop a pricing model that:

• Is suitable for each of the core services:

• Application Management
• Hosting & Network Management
• Service Integration and Management

1. Works for the services as a whole
2. Allows individual services to be removed easily and still have the model function effectively for the remaining whole
3. Will provide transparency in the future

• Run appropriate scenarios through the model to ensure it hangs together and gives the outcome required with no unintended consequences
• Develop ‘should cost’ for the services (in part and in whole) against which bidders can be assessed
• During tender phase address questions raised from bidders in respect of the pricing model
• When responses are received from bidders during the tender:

1. Ensure the basis of each bidder’s pricing approach is understood, raising clarification questions as necessary
2. Validate the information submitted in the model, ensuring each bidder has properly understood our pricing expectations
3. Create a ‘would cost’ model for each bidder
4. Analyse and compare each bidder and make recommendations to feed in to selection decisions
