Service Owner Information Sheet.pdf

The document outlines the role and responsibilities of a Service Owner within the DTI Procurement Services. A Service Owner is responsible for managing projects both technically and financially, preparing justifications for procuring outside services, and ensuring that products and services delivered under contract meet specified requirements. The Service Owner administers contractual activities, evaluates vendor performance, attends project review meetings, ensures consultant costs are allowable, participates in contract modifications, maintains contract records, evaluates consultant performance, coordinates with finance and audit sections for consultant agreements, and identifies professional services needed for project delivery. Professional services must be anticipated, defined, and secured without adversely impacting project delivery. Service owners must adhere to defined policies and procedures when requiring professional services. Projects require detailed evaluation, including project description, critical features, criteria, standards, unusual problems, and cost estimates for services.
