The Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet requires business case advisory services to assist in the delivery of a documentation for an upcoming ICT investment proposal. Working with PM&C architects, engineers and internal staff, the successful supplier will coordinate, write and deliver the documentation to ICT Investment Approval Process (IIAP) standards and the satisfaction of the department, ensuring it addresses all required components.

At a minimum, the business case must detail:

• what will be delivered, the delivery schedule, benefits and the realisation schedule, risks and mitigation strategies, and monitoring and reporting arrangements that will support implementation
• detailed cost estimate based on rigorous planning of required digital and ICT infrastructure, applications and support
• the outcome of detailed analysis including proofs of concept, approaches to market (if available), external expert advice, other similar domestic and or overseas implementation, and independent market assessments
• the development and procurement of the proposal by detailing how each digital and ICT option could be acquired and delivered to deliver capability and benefits with reduced risk

The governance of the proposal, including how progress will be monitored and measured, how emerging risks will be addressed, when regular progress reports will be provided to Government and assurance activities to be applied to the proposal (e.g. Gateway Reviews).

Due to strict timelines, the department is seeking a draft of this business case by the end of this calendar year with final delivery due by mid-February 2025.

Please note, NV1 clearance is required for all key resources.

Work is required to be performed from the Canberra office, with some negotiation for occasional remote work.
