Data and Information Services Foundation Architecture

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done Often major capital projects often get swamped by data rather than informed by relevant timely fact based information. The R&R programme have defined a vision for data architecture which now needs to be designed and plans put in place to develop the first elements ready for the substantiation of new bodies to oversee its delivery and the progression through RIBA design stages. Problem to Be Solved Following the development of a programme data and information service strategy, data consistency, quality, security and integrity is critical to the success of the programme. A number of capabilities need to be developed to ensure that we deliver against that strategy. This procurement is for the services of a partner to design and develop plans to deliver the first components of this strategy which includes: an integrated Master Data Management Platform, virtual desktop for Computer Aided Design, initial set of use cases and framework for developing design requirements and the early development of data rather than document driven transactions. Who Are the Users As a producer of programme data I need to ensure that it is tagged with consistent set of properties whenever it is produced. As a consumer of data on the programme I need to be able to recognise related data sets wherever I find them. As a custodian of programme data I need to have assurance that it is held and administered securely and consistently. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done A discovery report, vision statement and approach to data architecture for the programme has been created and approved.
