The chosen IT Services vendor will work with the relevant project team(s), ICT unit and third-party systems support and maintenance team in identifying and on boarding suitable resources, contributing to planning and delivering to agreed timelines and budgets. The number of resources will depend on the development demands, budget limitations, and the skill sets/experience and daily rates of such developers, such information having been provided in the tender in respect of each additional developer.
