Notice Description

The design, delivery, and deployment of the datahub platform architecture at Govia Thameslink Railway To view this notice, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=983818901

Procurement Information

The supplier offers a bespoke solution tailored to the company's data infrastructure, which is not available from other vendors without significant redevelopment. The datahub underpins core business operations, including data flows, reporting, and analytics. Disruption due to a change in supplier would pose significant operational risks and require a planned transition period. A competitive tender at this point will introduce risks related to data security, compliance, and service degradation during transition. The current supplier has deep, proprietary knowledge of the company's data architecture, integrations, and historical configurations, which cannot be easily replicated or transferred.
