Tender description

An integral part of the Industrial Strategy "Construction 2016 - 2020 is HM Government's Digital Built Britain (DBB) Strategy published in February 2015. The strategy brings together the Business and Professional Services Strategy, the Smart Cities Strategy and the Information Economy Strategy to provide a consistent vision regarding the creation of a high performing and transparent economy that efficiently delivers services to all its citizens. DBB seeks to develop the next generation of standards (known as BIM Level 3) which aims to further improve efficiency by providing a more advanced data infrastructure, better management of transactions and the inclusion of performance information from sensors to optimise not only the delivery of the asset, but its operation and functional performance. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. BIMs are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a building or other built asset. Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, such as water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, bridges, ports, tunnels, etc. The successful supplier will provide BIM technical programme management and insight consultancy services, responsible to the client team for managing the day-to-day activities in fulfilment of the objectives and achievement of the programme vision, timescales and budget with the necessary support assistance.
