Report by Ben Armstrong for February 2021

Achievements in Last Period 

  • Review scope of works document from supplier
  • Continued work on contract terms, schedules and annexes
  • Designs shared with accessibility team
  • Information gathering has started between supplier and UoE Printing Services Department
  • Started work on DPIA

Issues

 

  • Supplier requested a change to the standard UoE procurement terms and conditions, specifically the indemnity and liability clauses - we have contacted UoE Legal Department for advice
  • The contract completion milestone is unlikely to be met - and project timescales will have to be revised, but this should tie in with the two points below (P&M, phased approach)  
    • As a result, the Time RAG has been marked as AMBER this month
  • There is no confirmed revised date for the People and Money Phase 3 go-live; however a window of August to November has been stated
  • Opportunity - given the P&M dates, the business lead has expressed a preference for a two stage deployment (where P&M users would be in the second stage) - feasibility under discussion

Next Steps

  • Complete work on contract and sign contract
  • Replan project
  • Replan project milestones
  • Continue DPIA/EqIA
