Notice Title

GIS Core Platform & Data Model (incl. GIS Tooling)

Notice Description

YWS has embarked upon a Transformation Programme to deliver new and improved business capabilities which will require enterprise-wide changes to process, people, systems and data. Underpinning this is a Technology and Data strategy that will deliver a modern tech landscape, encompassing the full range of IT business applications including core platform technology, ERP, Customer Experience and provision of a Strategic Data Platform. Spatial Information is core to the business operations of Yorkshire Water and there is an ever-increasing requirement to harness the intelligence of this to develop new applications to support core asset management, network maintenance, customer services, hydraulic modelling, interaction with external partners and fulfilment of regulatory obligations, integrating Spatial Information with other core data assets across Yorkshire Water. The current GIS system at YWS has been in use for a long time and has evolved over many years supporting spatial information service requirements across the business. In addition, there are several targeted business initiatives for specific departmental requirements using a range of other GIS product platforms. A GIS Strategy review has been undertaken to take stock of what YWS have, engage across the business to consolidate business requirements, review current technologies available, learn from other UK Water Industry initiatives and identify a Roadmap to the achievement of a new Target Operating Model for the delivery of integrated, high-quality capabilities and services to support the current and future Spatial Information Services needs of Yorkshire Water. The scope of this procurement seeks to select a new GIS core platform and data model and assess GIS core platform service provider's capability in the provision of GIS tooling.

Provision of key data sets to mobile field work devices and management of updates to the network, including red-lining and black-lining. This should include on and offline working capabilities using a range of Microsoft and iOS devices. Spatial data analytic platforms - network tracing, integration with industry leading hydraulic and waste-water modelling Integration and data sharing with third parties, e.g. in support of Land Strategy, Environment Agency models, other utilities, infrastructure planning (e.g. HS2) Management of meter and property data for billing, leakage and smart grid enablement Integration into Customer case management applications and processes to support fault diagnosis and to proactively manage interruptions to clean and waste services.
