It now requires design support and assurance to complete the common design phase, prepare for local design and deliver end to end designs. This includes: - Implementing the agreed consistent, comprehensive approach to design with a bias to action and proactive business engagement that brings together technology and process design and delivers the functional ambitions for transformation. - Creating and agreeing the end-to-end process maps that include functional review and sign-off and a feedback loop to teams working on the BPS tender. - Clarifying and communicating the final common design, including roles and responsibilities of the Shared Services Hub, Functions, Common Components, Departments, and ALBs. This is continuation of the services currently being provided by Veran Performance under the SI Readiness and Design Assurance engagement. The Common Design Partner engagement is required until the end of Common Design - currently scheduled to complete end October 2025. A 5-month extension option will be available following the initial term if required. Following the initial and extension term, if further design support and assurance is required the high-level requirements will be included in the scope of the Technical Partner procurement that is due to complete November 2025.
