Delivery models for professional services and support

Across ONS we have been testing differing third party support in a wide range of operational and business areas that have needed professional support. This has included exploring proof of concept models alongside more established delivery models for professional services and contingent labour. The lessons learned from these models will build ONS’ Professional Services and Contingent Labour Strategy which we are aiming to get agreed internally by the end of July 2021 to meet our preferred procurement publication date.
