Description of the contract
Introduction
At Social Care Wales, we manage projects using a variety of methodologies, including Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid approaches. Agile is currently the least utilised methodology within the organisation.
What is required / ‘The requirements’
To strengthen our digital project delivery capability, we aim to integrate Agile practices more systematically within our Digital and Technology Team.
To achieve this, we are seeking a supplier to design and deliver a hands-on Pilot Agile Mentoring Programme for approximately 4-5 staff members from Social Care Wales’s Digital and Technology Team over the next six months.

- Take a lead role in identifying and selecting live projects suitable for Agile delivery.
- Provide practical education on Agile principles, frameworks and tools tailored to Social Care Wales’s needed.
- Offer real-time, project-based mentoring to up-skill staff in applying Agile methodologies in practice.
- Support the transfer of Agile delivery skills to build internal capability.

- Support the development of internal process for selecting and managing Agile projects after the programme concludes.
- Take an approach that contains a blend of theoretical learning with practical delivery, enabling colleagues to immediately apply what they learn.
