Tender Description
This Tender is invited by the Issuer.
Overview
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is seeking a delivery partner to work with NHMRC and the Australian Research Council (ARC) on the NHMRC–ARC Shared Grants System Feasibility Study.
Scope
The scope includes:
- Providing specialist analytical services to assess whether a shared grants management system and broader research grants hub capability is feasible and practical for both agencies
- Ensuring the work is evidence-based, technology-agnostic and decision-ready, and considers people, processes, technology, data, governance, policy, service delivery, operating models, user needs and organisational constraints
- Working as an integrated delivery partner with NHMRC and ARC, rather than as a standalone external reviewer
- Working transparently with both agencies, maintaining shared visibility of scope and timeline, raising risks and issues early, and supporting a "no surprises" delivery model
- Delivering an inception, scope confirmation and communication planning package
- Delivering an interim findings report
- Delivering an overarching feasibility report supported by agreed sub-reports or analytical work packages
- Delivering a roadmap and supporting materials, if agreed and subject to the findings of the feasibility study
- Supporting parallel analytical streams, sub-milestones, review points and approval points within the agreed milestones
- Supporting communication and stakeholder planning, targeted engagement, project administration, reporting and governance activities
Contractor Requirements
- NHMRC and ARC will provide agency expertise, documentation, business analysts, subject matter experts, quality assurance and governance input; the supplier is expected to work with this input as an integrated delivery partner
