Find an individual specialist
You can use the Digital Marketplace to find a specialist, such as a developer or a user researcher, for a specific piece of work.

Before you start

Download list of suppliers. - Get budget approval.
Write and publish your requirements
- Write your requirements and say how you’re going to evaluate specialists.
- Publish your requirements and evaluation criteria so suppliers can apply for the work. This information will be published on the Digital Marketplace where anyone can see it.
Answer supplier questions

Evaluate suppliers
- Shortlist and evaluate specialists’ applications.
- Award a contract to the specialist that best meets your needs.
