On occasion, I&P IS also runs un-planned projects, responding to urgent un-anticipated departmental demand. This contract will mainly be used by the Infrastructure and Platforms team in the DfE but can also be used by any digital, data and technology (DDT) delivery portfolio or enabling team, and (with agreement) other DfE teams, at short notice, to support immediate Development outcome requirements.
