Or Do you require both?: we require CV's which clearly outline Essential and Nice to have criteria - suppliers can provide either Cv alone - or both Cv and response to each criteria
2. Under Working Arrangements, this role states the same criteria as the Lead Developer, such as "the specialist will be part of a blended team of resources and be expected to provide technical experience, guidance and knowledge transfer where required." Is this also a "lead" role, involving guidance to other team members, or a hands-on developer?: The specialist will primarily be hands-on but may need to conduct knowledge transfer where necessary. This is not explicitly a leadership position.
