## About this tender

### Work Package 0009 - Alternative Delivery Model

Project - Business Continuity Plan Update (business support and IT areas)

The project will be delivered in-line with the project plan presented in section 2.3.1 and will produce the deliverables and milestones presented in section 2.6.1. The supplier will perform the following activities;

- Update the Authority's current BC plan with the lessons learned from recent exercises and tests and recommendations from recent audits. This will involve onsite support from our team, working with your central BC team contacts to enable the details and intended results of the recommendations to be reflected in the updates.
- Following the updates to the plan, we will review the new plan against industry good practice, considering ISO22301 and the Business Continuity Institute for Good Practice Guidelines, and make further recommendations for further alignment.
- We will review the Authority's current Business Impact Analysis (BIA) template against the standards (ISO22301 and Business Continuity Institute for Good Practice Guidelines) and provide recommendations as to where the BIA could be enhanced to enable all information required for BC planning purposes to be captured. This will consider any gaps which may have been highlighted in the plan review where the information is not currently available.
- We will understand what IT continuity documents are currently available. Based this, we will suggest to management, the inclusion/references of the IT continuity documentation the Authority may wish to include.
- We will understand the platform and tools available for sharing documents across the organisation and make recommendations for how the BC plan could be stored and shared for the Authority's consideration and decision.

We intend to feedback our additional recommendations and amendments to management at the start of the second week of the work, depending on management availability. The second week of the review will be to implement the agreed amendments. This is an estimate in advance of starting work which will depend upon the number of amendments already required at activity (a).

The work will not include the following;

â&#128;¢ Review or challenge of the previous learnings, except where the changes result in the plan not aligning with good practice.

â&#128;¢ Validation or exercising of the BC plan content, or any technical plans referenced within.

â&#128;¢ Update of the BIA activity. Only the template will be updated, the completion of which will be the responsibility of the Authority.

â&#128;¢ Review of the IT continuity documentation.

â&#128;¢ Authoring of technical IT continuity documents.
