Anchor is a large housing and care association providing services to residents in over 1000 locations. We have embarked on an ambitious technology strategy that puts people at the centre of technology transformation. To this end we have developed a technology foundation based on Microsoft's hosted services that delivers a customer and colleague portal. We have introduced agile and DevOps methodologies during this implementation and intend to continue to use these methods to further develop additional features and capabilities on this platform.

In addition, we have implemented a Data Lake using standard Microsoft Azure technologies. This is being used to consolidate data from several sources allowing us gain insights through all our data in a single consistent way.

We are looking to go to market for an Agile Software Development partner to work alongside our internal Software Development, Dev Ops, QA, and Data Engineering teams to deliver on defined pieces of work within fixed time frames and set deliverables against either a fixed price or time and materials contract. The development delivery element of the contract would not be exclusive, and Anchor may user other suppliers for specific projects.

The same organisation should be able to provide ongoing support and maintenance under a managed service statement of works with associated SLA's etc.

It is anticipated this will be a 5-year contract with a committed minimum spend of Â£2m up to Â£15m over the term of the contract.

Additional information: We are looking for a Partner with extensive experience in delivering high quality software solutions in an outsourced agile manner and will be willing to work within the constraints of the tools, processes and standards that Anchor have defined. Key to the success of this relationship will be clear communications, structured processes for delivery and strict adherence to Anchor's processes including meeting all QA and Testing requirements.

Standard/Qualifications of the Partner should include:

- Agile Methodology
- Azure DevOps
- Technology's: React (native and web), c# .net, Python, Kubernetes, Azure Data Factory, Data Bricks
- Testing technology's: Cypress, Jester, Lint, Great Expectations
- Test Driven Development Methodologies
