Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Digital has initiated a tender for the "National Data Architecture (NDA) - Data Management." This project falls under the category of 'Content or data standardization and classification services' and is based in Leeds, England. The procurement process is at the award stage, having recently concluded with a total contract value of £734,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1st July 2018 and will run until 30th June 2019. This tender was executed through a single tender action, classified as a direct procurement method, following a prior unsuccessful procurement attempt in 2017, with a Prior Information Notice (PIN) issued in December 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data management and software solutions, particularly those familiar with Ab Initio’s tools. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, especially given the unique technical requirements associated with the NDA programme which aims to enhance data governance and ingestion capabilities. Companies with expertise in metadata management, data ingestion techniques, and software services related to data standardization are encouraged to explore potential involvement.

Notice Title

National Data Architecture (NDA) - Data Management

Notice Description

This requirement is for the ability to use Ab Initio's software, to allow the NDA programme to progress with Beta stage work. Ab Initio has a meta data management tool, used to provide: * Information about data such as data attribute names, data attribute nomenclature, relationships between attributes, data policies etc. * An authoritative source of meta data providing a catalogue of data attributes or groups of data attributes and their associated definitions, polices etc. * Linking of data attributes from source to destination model, module, DDB etc. * Relationships between data attributes providing a hierarchy where applicable for re-use of common data attribute policies etc. * Tagging information about data attributes which explain how these data attributes group together into modules and/or DDB's * Versioning and historical information of data attributes, definitions, policies, DDB's, modules etc. * Cardinality relationship information between data attributes, definitions, policies, DDB's, modules etc. * Linking information between reference data and associated meta data. * Intelligent data ingestion from various sources including; excel, XML, Databases, Data warehouses, schemas, SQL, ETL The justification, for a STA, is that a contract could not be awarded following a procurement in 2017 and that a proof of concept in early 2018 demonstrated that further exploratory work should be conducted before a full requirement can be drafted, allowing for a competitive procurement to be conducted. This Tooling product has unique technical attributes to enable Beta work to be conducted. A Prior Information Notice was published in December 2018 (PIN ref: 2018/S 239-545971) to allow this requirement to be openly competed for any future contract award.
