    Brief

    This 12-month programme seeks a supplier to support the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) in re-engineering and delivering data products using a Hub and Spoke model aligned to the DWP Data Strategy. The work involves creating blended teams of DWP staff and partner specialists with a strong focus on knowledge transfer and building sustainable internal capabilities. Key responsibilities include: supporting four live data product deliveries; developing new data products to DWP Gold Build standards; prioritizing External and Cross-Benefit Data products to meet analytical and citizen event requirements; and establishing a "data as a product" culture. The supplier will deploy cloud-native tools and platforms for productivity, collaboration, security, and governance through a Data Access Layer. This approach aims to accelerate delivery timelines, reduce operational risk, ensure compliance with data governance standards, and enable integration with modern analytical tools. Ideal candidates will have experience in data platform engineering, cloud technologies, and working within blended delivery teams.
