Intellect is the trade body for the UK based information technology, telecommunications and electronics industry. The organisation acts as a conduit between government and private sector SME suppliers. Quintec is a listed member of Intellect and an early adopter of its IT Supplier Code of Best Practice.
The IT Supplier Code of Best Practice establishes a clear set of Ten Commitments that public sector clients can now expect from their IT suppliers. It establishes standards of professionalism for all providers of information systems and services to Government. The Code provides customers with increased certainty of delivery and value from IT-enabled programmes.
Quintec has as extensive track record of delivering pragmatic consulting and technology solutions that support Government clients in realising business benefits and improvements in the delivery of Government services. We registered our early support for the Code as it articulates the assurance of quality and value for money for our clients.
The Code sets out the principles of best practice in a series of Ten Commitments under the following headings:
- Customer-Supplier Relationship
- Understanding the Requirement
- Constructive Challenge
- Confidence in Delivery
- Assumptions and Implications
- Programme Management
- Risk Management
- Supply Chain Management
