Description

Consultancy Value Statement: Value to be delivered

Name of Supplier: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Title of Contract: 701577436 - Consultancy Services to the Army Secondee Programme

Requirement Summary:

The Army faces critical workforce 'pinch points' across a number of key functions / roles, whilst facing significant pressures to deliver transformation and change activities. Recruitment into these key functions / roles continues to be challenging, with geographical location and the availability of suitable candidates in the marketplace a key factor. The amount of change has also meant that the way in which staff have worked in the past is different and some of the new skill sets are not currently available in-house. The Secondment Programme will allow the Army to access these new skills, explore the opportunities for innovation and begin the process of upskilling staff and imbedding new ways of working.

Additive Manufacturing AdM CofE / Pj
Bulk material distribution
Ground Based Air Defence
IoT System Integrator
Electrification
New Medium Helicopter

Financial Value Statement:

Contract Value: £148,850.00

Key Outputs will include:

a. The establishment of the governance and controls for the secondee programme;
b. Provision of a prioritised demand profile for secondees;
c. Identification of a sourcing strategy to address demand;
d. Liaison with industry to identify suitable secondees;
e. Establishing a process for the onboarding of secondees; and
f. Liaison with stakeholders such as Defence Business Services; the Civil Service Commission; and Trade Unions.
