Earlier this year the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) commissioned a contract for a new domestic policy appraisal model, the National Household Model (NHM).
The final model will be delivered to DECC in October 2013 when the model will be rolled out for use in policy appraisal. The model is being built in Java by professional software developers as part of the contractors development team. The DECC project team are advising on the functionality needed on a day to day basis and testing the model.
However, Java is a language not previously used in the DECC modelling community, leaving the team with a skills gap in terms of specialist software architecture review and a Java focussed Business/Test Analyst.
DECC's entry on the Contracts Finder website says: "We are looking for an organisation to come in and support the DECC modelling team in defining the business requirements for a software development contract and carrying out the appropriate testing and QA to ensure that the software delivered by the 3rd party supplier meets those requirements."
