UK SBS PS16017 - Value Chain Mapping Proposal

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills are looking for an organisation to help us complete discovery work to describe and analyse the functions and services currently provided by a subset of our Public Bodies. This work will define a digital strategy and roadmap for transition to an agile digital collaborate organisation. One method of approach suppliers may adopt will be ‘value chain mapping’ leading to the definition of the blueprint for the organisation, provide insight into the services and capability for the organisation(s) and in turn inform the future Department operating model.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and its delivery landscape is changing. Through a large change programme, BIS 2020, we are developing plans to become cheaper, simpler and better. We have committed to reducing our operational spend, our headcount and also the number of Public Bodies we have to deliver our policy agendas. Policy and delivery will be more closely linked and all associated services (and underpinning processes, technology and teams) will be more streamlined.

The proposal should include:

This is a time bound and priority piece of work, which should commence as soon as possible and is expected to last a period of 4 weeks.
