Description
We are seeking to establish a supplier who can support the provision of a 'technical due diligence' service to our clients. This need arises when software companies are being established or developed by non-technical founders. In many cases people can articulate their requirement in plain English but require this to be converted into a document which can be understood by technical sub-contractors.
Delivery Requirements
We are looking for individual/companies to provide the following capabilities:
Provision of support to end user clients in the form of (but not limited to):
• Expert to support in initial conversations with clients;
• Development of functional and technical specifications;
• Client support in finding and recruiting sub-contractor and/or technical staff.
• Many of our clients are App based, therefore the provider would be have knowledge of working across various platforms (ie. iPhone, Android and Windows);
• This is an in-depth piece of work, therefore we anticipate that each client will receive a minimum of 12 hours of support.
