FA1227 IS Smaller Application Development Register.

Descriptions

Thames Water Utilities Limited (TWUL) is planning to implement a new Register (FA1227) for application development and system integration project work, which is anticipated to start in November 2014.This Register is intended to support a separate framework (FA1225), from which major IS application development and system integration project work will be sourced.The total spend on IS Development work at Thames Water has been estimated at over £200m over five years, across both the Register (FA1227) and the framework (FA1225). The exact proportion of spend that will be sourced via this Register is currently unknown.The work may include any facet of IS project delivery, system integration and associated services for current and legacy systems which may include but are not limited to:— Service Strategy, IT Strategy, technical advice & planning,— Enterprise Architecture Planning,— Process improvement and design,— Feasibility Analysis and blueprinting,— Requirements Analysis,— Solution design,— Service design,— Application development,— Testing strategy and test planning,— Data quality improvement and migration for service transition,— Data management and information management,— Information Security Management,— IT Asset Management,— Programme & project management,— Quality control, quality assurance and quality management,— Design assurance,— System integration,— Service validation and testing,— Business Continuity Management & IT Disaster Recovery Management,— Transition into ‘Business-as-usual' operations (and potentially application support & service hosting).Successful bidders would become part of the Thames Water IS Development Pool Register. Being on this Register does not give the supplier any guarantee of work, but will enable the supplier to bid for individual projects of future work.The Register has no set expiry date at present, but this may be subject to change if unforeseen changes to the business occur or the Thames Water projected spend profile significantly changes.To be considered for the first phase of awards from this Register, PQQ's requires completion by 12:00 hrs, 4.8.2014.
