Summary of the contracting process

Tideway, the contracting authority managing the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, is seeking a provider for Information Systems Managed Services. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, focusing on IT services such as consulting, software development, internet, and support. This contract includes key service requirements like service operations, service management, networks, security, information management, and project management. The tender period ends on 11th November 2024, with services expected to commence around June 2025 in London. The project aims at consolidating various information systems as Tideway transitions from a construction project to a steady-state utility company over a contract potentially lasting up to 10 years, with key milestones set for December 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT services industry, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive managed services for a large-scale infrastructure project. With a total estimated contract value of £6,500,000 and the necessity to reduce end users from 250 to around 30-40, companies with experience in service consolidation, data archiving, and long-term utility management will find this opportunity appealing. Businesses standalone or consortia that can meet Tideway's detailed service requirements and leverage their expertise in finance, regulation, maintenance, and corporate services are well-suited to compete in this selective procurement process.

Notice Description

Following completion of the Works on the Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT) project, Bazalgette Tunnel Limited (trading as Tideway) will be transitioning from a construction project to a "steady state" utility company responsible for the long term ownership, financing and (where relevant) maintenance of the TTT so that it is available for use in conjunction with Thames Water's sewer network. Tideway as a company currently comprises circa 250 end users and includes functions and related systems, applications, and general operating model appropriate to support a large infrastructure project. However the Tideway project is approaching completion and the organisation will transition from a project into a long term "steady state" model. At steady state end user numbers will reduce to 30-40 with core functions covering Finance (treasury), Regulation, limited physical (tunnel) maintenance and corporate services. Tideway is therefore seeking a provider for Information Systems services to consolidate various services to a single holistic managed service, with services commencing around June 2025. The service provider will also assist Tideway in ongoing consolidation of providers and services, managing the reduction of end users during the transition period, and close-out of construction-phase applications and associated data archiving. With the target of achieving steady state service, application and user landscape around December 2026. Key service requirements will include, but not limited to : * Service Operations * Service Management * Networks * Security * Information Management * Project Management (professional services) Further details of Tideway as an organisation and the Thames Tideway Tunnel project can be found at www.Tideway.London.
