The administration makes a great effort in identifying needs, designing and planning programs, defining tenders, and executing and monitoring projects. It is a great responsibility to correctly manage the complexity of establishing the legal, financial and operational framework in which numerous entities, very different from each other, can execute the various projects with guarantees.
Establishing a common, affordable baseline that verifies the various regulations in terms of procedures, technology and data management is an advance that facilitates the supervision of projects and minimizes legal and operational risks in each execution.
The intentional absence of an excessively detailed level of requirements in the bids allows the entry of smaller entities with more limited means. This diversity of awardees implies a methodological heterogeneity that, although complying with the regulations in force, manifests itself in operational differences.
The standardization of the technological infrastructure, processes, methodologies and data structures makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous global vision of comparable indicators, as well as greater agility in the transfer of projects between entities.
The legal and operational aspects of the projects are strongly regulated and defined in medium and long-term service contracts. Therefore, any changes to be introduced must be included in the new tenders. It is foreseeable that technology and data management requirements will become stricter with the transposition of European Union regulations.
It must be avoided that the increase in requirements penalizes the number of entities that can bid for tenders, so our consulting services can help to assess the current situation and define the objective to promote a gradual and affordable adaptation to the new framework of requirements.
Implementing improvements is not always a simple decision: it is necessary to avoid operational risks, the generation of deeper dependencies with suppliers, or getting involved in an indefinite cycle of custom software developments with dubious operational and financial returns. Disruption is not always the best way to go.
A progressive and modular change approach, based on best practices and accompanied by an always-on training allow the adaptation to the reality of each project. All this while maintaining the vocation to provide the best service but without excluding the coexistence with other solutions and / or suppliers.
