Planning
- Planning service
- Yes
- How the planning service works
- At burendo we work with customers to select the most suitable Cloud technologies to adopt. We help plan the path to live strategy and continuous delivery framework. We help plan the migration of services to the Cloud and where a hybrid multi-vendor or mix cloud and on-premise solution might be more applicable. We help identify risks and issues as well as mitigation strategies. We review skills and staffing requirements to allow safe adoption of Cloud technologies. We work with the customer to build robust security and testing capabilities covering both functional and non-functional testing.

Tackling economic inequality
Burendo addresses ‘Theme 2: Tackling Economic Inequality’ through our fledgling Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) community and our supply chain strategy.
Create new businesses, new jobs and new skills:
We address the UK digital skills gap specifically through our position on the Leeds Beckett University advisory board, ensuring that tech skills are prioritised in higher education. We work with local schools and colleges through the Ahead Partnership and Career Ready to develop employability skills and engage young people in skilled careers that they may not usually find accessible due to economic inequality. We also work with Women in Tech to deliver events aimed at skills sharing and widening opportunities.
We have established a Burendo Academy which creates entry into a tech career for talented young people who are typically excluded, supporting on-the-job skills development. Next year we aim to increase from 1 supported placement to 2.
Burendo creates skills-sharing opportunities for all stakeholders, including suppliers and clients, with regular events like lunch-and-learns in business analysis, DEI strategy building and in 2022-2023 will add cloud skills to the list when we complete our AWS certification.
Increase supply chain resilience and capacity
Our supply chain strategy aims to diversify by working with more SMEs – currently 48% of our procurement spend is with SMEs and we target 5% increase year-on-year, along with the engagement of at least one VCSE focused on a cause like education, employment or housing.
We support SMEs and VCSEs’ growth by sharing our own maturing journey and we provide remote working tools and shared space for inclusivity of our partners’ staff. We share resources with SME partners to reduce costs and environmental impact, and we adhere to their payment terms (most are within 30 days) as requested to ensure fairness. - Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity
Burendo addresses ‘Theme 4: Equal Opportunity’ through our fledgling Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) community. The community comprises over 15% of the workforce through optional membership.
Tackle workforce inequality:
Burendo works with Career Ready and the Ahead Partnership to address inequality in opportunities to enter high-skilled careers. We hold events 3-4 times per year to inspire young people to consider the tech industry and to help break down barriers they face. We build employability skills and confidence in around 100 young people every year.
We have established a Burendo Academy which creates entry into a tech career for typically-excluded, talented young people, supporting on-the-job skills development. Next year we aim to increase from 1 supported placement to 2.
We are now beginning to capture data to identify under-represented groups and pay disparities. Over the next 12 months we have planned the following activity to address gaps:
Uncovering unconscious bias and non-inclusive practice: We are reviewing all our internal policies and processes for unintended bias and exclusion through use of language.
Tackle non-inclusive recruitment (3-6 months): We will introduce training for recruitment in writing inclusive job adverts and conducting interviews.
Understand issues around pay and remuneration (9-12 months): We aim to voluntarily report on the gender pay gap and become a Living Wage certified employer.
To ensure progression opportunities are equal we provide permanent colleagues with a personal training budget, that allows us to choose our own development routes. We allocate 10% of working time to spend on a choice of projects and personal development.
Any colleagues facing disability are actively supported through our policy to provide reasonable adjustments to working patterns or conditions, and we encourage remote working where it is practical with appropriate equipment, including any needs identified through display screen equipment assessments.
