## Summary

The NHS Digital is seeking to enhance its National Data Architecture (NDA) through a direct procurement process for a data modelling tool called Powerdesigner. This tender is currently in the Award stage, with a total contract value of £162,840. The procurement for this service is defined as a single tender action below threshold and has a contract period starting from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019. The tender period ended on June 29, 2018, and is relevant to the industry category of content or data standardization and classification services. The award notice was recently published on March 22, 2019.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in data modelling and analytics, especially those offering innovative software solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-positioned to propose competitive solutions, given their agility and niche expertise. The NHS Digital's engagement in complex data landscapes indicates a need for tailored solutions that can accommodate varied data models, making this a promising avenue for businesses looking to expand their offerings in the health sector.

## Notice

This requirement is for the ability to use SAP Health's software - called Powerdesigner, to allow the NDA programme to progress with Beta stage work. Powerdesigner is a leader in Data Modelling space, providing conceptual, logical and physical data models. NHS Digital have a complex heterogenous data landscape and we need a tool that can 'make sense' of the data at rest (data models). The tool is used to provide: * Illustrative and textual representations of conceptual, logical and physical data models in the form of normalised ERD's via ERwin for e.g. or Graph, Triple Store, Key Value etc model representations * Linking of models and meta data attributes and referenced modules/DDB's etc. * Cardinality, relationships and constraints between entities & data attributes including keys, uniqueness, references, checks * Relationships of information assets (assets), data attributes which create modules, DDB's or collections (entities) * Catalogue of models, modules, entities, data attribute groups linked, possibly related etc but re-useable * Information about why, how and what entities and data attributes are associated, referenced, linked etc to create modules, DDB's etc * Analytical models etc based upon data models of entities, data attributes The justification, for a single tender action, 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.
