Statement of Requirement list all of the Authority’s Requirements, specifications or agreed features of the Future Service to be performed. The Authority has been aware that several projects are at varying stages of advancement and development in their plans to consume the IdAMS (Identity and Access Management System) service. The scope of this FSC is to carry out an Initiation Phase to capture the IdAMS requirements for the following 5 projects: Provider Access (Utilise existing requirements and validate) DCFT LRSr10 NCS - Learner Portal EFA - IM Portal Each of the projects should have a predefined set of requirements for authentication which these projects are looking to IdAMS to provide. IdAMS is currently functioning but without any further work it will be unable to meet the requirements of the projects stated above. To address the risk of five individual projects all attempting to make changes to one system the Authority will be establishing a single delivery vehicle for all of these work streams, or sets of IDAMS requirements. The scope of the Initiation Phase is: Capture the IdAMS requirements for the applications in scope Functional Non Functional Where applicable, documenting how IdAMS is currently consumed by the application/s Capture the current status and functionality of the IdAMS solution Provide recommendations on any changes required to the current IdAMS solution, to meet the consuming systems requirements Document the current environments in place (DTE, VOTE & LIVE) and provide details of any environmental changes required

1.1.1 The National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) are seeking to make the following changes to their Apprenticeship vacancies system to align with restructuring and policy changes being introduced. The critical success factor for this project is the delivery to the expectations of the business before the end of January 2012. This FSC will cover the Elaboration phase of the project. A key factor is the completion of the Deliverables identified in Section 1.2 – sign-off of these is the mechanism by which Stage 2: System change depends.
1.1.2 Changes to the system required for January are described below. Geography changes There have been changes to the geography structure which affect the ability to access, allocate and record data in the system as it stands today due to the introduction of divisions and the change to regions and area’s The Apprenticeship vacancies system is moving to be a centrally co-ordinated function, but with geographically based management. This will require the system to show Divisional and area geography for NAS users. Due to the physical geographical location of NAS Apprenticeship vacancies teams, there will be a need for teams, wherever they are based to be able to also view and manage the Apprenticeship vacancies system not only for their Division and Area, but to also support and undertake work within the system for other Divisions and Areas. Impact of Minimum Contract Value (MCL) To understand and accurately reflect the changes to how Providers will be contracted with and manage vacancies as a result of the introduction of Minimum Contract Value. This is where Providers will only hold contracts to deliver provision if they have a contract value over a certain amount. The system will need to show both the vacancies managed by the main contractor, but also the relationship hierarchy with vacancies managed by a sub-contractor. There will be instances where for some provision, a Provider is a main contractor but for other provision they need to be linked to another provider as they are a sub-contractor or part of a consortium arrangement. In addition Apprenticeship vacancies takes a feed of Provider information from PIMS and will therefore also need to align with the changes to PIMS following MCL changes Hierarchy Roles in LASS Create new SFA hierarchy roles in LASS for Av to use. e.
