II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Lot 1: Digital experience design. It is envisaged that the services included under this lot shall include but not be limited to; user experience, user centered design, information architecture, Interaction design, usability, usability testing, accessibility, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Compliance, Human-computer interaction, web design, illustrations, design prototyping, user interface design, content strategy and design (including video), Agile practice.
Suppliers will be required to be capable of providing a range of these services.
SDS may from time to time have requirements for a supplier to work on site in their offices at Lomond House, George Square, Glasgow to deliver the services required under a call-off contract. Digital services have a well-established in-house development team and, in our experience, suppliers working onsite with the teams increases collaboration, idea generation and problem solving. For some projects a large number of stakeholders from within the business are involved. The supplier being based on site helps with getting a better understanding of the requirements first hand being part of these scoping/briefing meetings. This further aids teamworking when the internal Digital Services and supplier team are working on the project as a tight knit team.
