Provision of Data Platform Development and Support for DBT

Data Platforms are the infrastructure and tools that DBT's staff use to manage their relationships with organisations worldwide. Over 200,000 interactions are logged per year and many billions of pounds of investment/export projects are managed through Data Hub our internal CRM system and Data Workspace our in house Data repository.

There are currently four in-house multidisciplinary teams working on this portfollio. However, additional capacity is needed on a Call-Off Contract basis to support business initiatives that existing teams are not in a position to validate and build.

The supplier will provide an agile development team which will work within the existing codebase alongside or part of the in-house teams. Data Products are primarily written in Django and React, and currently run on GOV.UK PaaS (Cloud Foundry). The supplier will be working on missions from the product roadmap, similar to the other in-house teams. This will include known goals to help give exporting/investment support as well as new strands funded by the business.

The supplier will collaborate on user research and shared design, develop new mission ideas, validate business hypotheses, review and create code, and analyse metrics.
