Concept Viability

Concept Viability

The Office of Government Commerce and the National Audit Office recommends the early involvement of suppliers in the development of technology enabled business change projects in the public sector. One of the key challenges facing the public sector is how to transform policy ideas into the desired outcomes, particularly when this involves IT-enables business change. Concepts that appear straightforward on paper can be extremely difficult/risky to execute, especially then the technology is new or emerging, or when transaction volumes are high.

Concepts that are not technically feasible, are flawed or high-risk will be identified as such at an early stage, thereby informing the client of these pitfalls before investment has been made in the concept, thereby helping to shape the procurement market.
