This uses the PEGA platform and PEGA Cloud. The essential components of this programme are being rolled out progressively during 2019.

WORK SETUP

 Predominantly Skipton House, 80 London Road, London – but on occasion may be required to attend one of the other four HRA offices located in Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle.
Working arrangements
 As the HRA is a national organisation a number of staff are based at home as well as across the 5 office locations. Extensive use is made of Skype for business. However, it is expected that there will be a significant amount of colocation at Skipton House for the duration of the programme and suppliers will have to be prepared to work flexibly and productively within this setting.
