NS&I currently operates a third-party outsourced Level 2 Helpdesk function. As NS&I’s operational environment continues to transform in complexity and scale, there is an increased need for a dedicated and resilient Level 2 Helpdesk service. A new supplier is required to ensure NS&I can ensure and support technical expertise across multiple suppliers and services, maintain incident resolution timescales, support complex end-to-end service stability, and has a support model that can scale in line with future service demands. This service is staffed by (at any one time) 2 Helpdesk Analysts, from a pool of available resource between Monday and Friday, 8am to 8pm. The helpdesk provides triage services assessing incoming tickets against priority and technical service. The tickets are then passed to resolver groups which sit within NS&I’s 4 strategic delivery partners and outgoing incumbent provider. Tickets can be generated by suppliers, NS&I teams, via customer interactions or automated events from a L1 Helpdesk operated by our Service Delivery Partner (SDP) IBM. Where tickets can be resolved without a technical team and where relevant knowledge articles exist the L2 Helpdesk is expected to ensure that these are resolved via feedback to the point of origin. The helpdesk also ensures that all tickets raised have the minimum data set required for the suppliers to investigate or fulfil. To meet this need, the new supplier will be required to deliver a Level 2 Helpdesk service in line with agreed service levels. The supplier must operate through NS&I’s ServiceNow platform, maintain BPSS cleared staff, deliver support during business hours, and comply with NS&I’s security, standards, and ISO requirements. The service will also include structured performance reporting and a sustained commitment to continuous service improvement. This Request for Information/market engagement exercise is open to suppliers within Lot 3a of the GCA Technology Services 4 RM6190 framework only. Ref: itt_91872/Lot 3a Request for Information
