IT Project Commissioning & Vendor Advisory

For business owners commissioning a software build without in-house technical oversight.

What it is

Support through the parts of commissioning software that go wrong most often: requirements definition, vendor shortlisting and evaluation, statement-of-work and acceptance-criteria review, and acting as your technical representative through delivery.

The problem it solves

Unclear requirements and acceptance criteria can leave you and your supplier with different expectations of what is being built. I help you clarify those expectations, compare proposals, and review progress against agreed requirements before misunderstandings become expensive changes.

What you get

We agree the scope around your project’s stage. This can include:

  • Requirements and priorities that suppliers can estimate against
  • A comparison of shortlisted vendors and their proposals, including technical risks and trade-offs
  • A review of the statement of work and acceptance criteria, with questions and changes to resolve before committing
  • Agreed delivery checkpoints and technical review of progress with your supplier

How we start

Bring your project goals, any proposals or contracts you already have, and the decisions you need to make. We identify the immediate risks and agree whether you need a focused review or support through delivery.

Who it's for

Non-technical business owners about to commission — or already partway through — a software build, who want a second, technical opinion in the room.
