Understanding the PSR SOW framework and the benefits to you
What is PSR SOW?
A Statement of Work (SOW) is a collective term that describes a range of outsourced service delivery solutions, characterised by payment for the delivery of defined outputs or outcomes where the responsibility for delivery and the management of individuals rests with the appointed third party supplier.
The PSR SOW solution is designed as a route to allow contracting authorities access to SOW services (excluding consultancy services) and the range of additional benefits that come from a managed service underpinned by technology.
Jumar is an accredited supplier on the PSR SOW framework, and as a specialist end-to-end technology consultancy, can support Public Sector bodies through a range of professional service disciplines including PMO/Project Delivery, Organisational Development & Design, Workforce Planning, Analytics Business/ Data, Change Management, Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT), Data Science, and Research.
