Description

Anchor Hanover is looking for a third-party consultant to act as an accelerator to assist with data architecture and data governance practices. The
organisation is implementing huge change across all services with new technology being developed to support organisational and change through
technology. It recognises the huge opportunities that will come from its data but there is currently no data architecture, standards or practices in
place.
Anchor Hanover is seeking a third-party consultancy that have supported organisations (not necessarily within the Housing sector) in achieving the
following:
Defining a "To-be" organisation data model. Working with Subject Matter Experts, existing databases and new requirements to build a
future-looking data model structure. This is not expected to go down to the detail of every attribute but the structure to support the
business.
Defining the processes and governance to manage data effectively. From experience with other companies, Anchor Hanover is looking
for a consultant to share best practices on how to manage data change, enable the appropriate governance processes and to
demonstrate practices that will enhance the controls, validity, currency of data across the organisation.

Example deliverables (subject to input from the successful consultancy) would be:
Enterprise data model (with sample attributes)
Data modelling diagram standards document
Data dictionary templates and specification
Data governance process design document
Sample roles and responsibilities document

Work is already ongoing to look at the technology implementations to support the new data model and to drive value from the date through modern
cloud-based technologies. This procurement is not to establish or design that.

What We Need?
Anchor Hanover is seeking a proactive expert partner with a practical, no-nonsense, simple approach to addressing these challenges. It is important
to see this exercise as an accelerator rather than a prolonged engagement. The desire is to complete this work in approximately 2-3 months. A practical
partner is needed. The requirement is not about abstract data architecture, the culture of data or data "talking shops". This procurement is seeking
real practical help to shape how the organisation defines and then manages data going forward.
