J5 Resources to deliver EWMP User Case 1 - Additional effort

The contract award is required to support the delivery of Phase 1 of the project following the introduction of additional scope and functionality requirements. The expanded scope necessitates additional development time and specialist consultancy support to design, configure, and implement the required enhancements. Due to the ongoing agile and evolving nature of the Phase 1 programme, it has been determined that the continued engagement of two Hexagon consultants is necessary to ensure the successful completion of Phase 1 within the planned delivery timescales. The work involves the configuration and modification of the existing installed J5 application. As Hexagon is the incumbent provider and support organisation for the live J5 environment, its consultants possess the specialist knowledge and technical expertise required to make the necessary adjustments while minimising risk to operational systems and avoiding disruption to currently live applications. Continued access to Hexagon consultancy capability is therefore essential to support the configuration, customisation, stabilisation, and optimisation of the application, ensuring the successful delivery of Phase 1 and the realisation of the required business outcomes.
