Our cables and substations are at the centre of the energy system. Every time a phone is plugged in, or switch is turned on, we've played a part, connecting homes and business to the electricity they need. It's a crucial role and pivotal in turning the UK's net zero ambitions into reality. NG ET aims to become an intelligently connected utility, with the ability to respond quickly to market opportunities and changes impacting the business. The enterprise integration platform is the nerve centre that connects internal business systems together and enables secure business flows and process automation between NG ET and other National Grid entities as well as between NG ET and various eco-system partners. The current suite of integration products and their operating model limit the Business' aspirations to be modern and agile. Building new integrations relies on a central pool of specialised resources and constrains the speed at which integration projects can be delivered. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NG ET seeks to harness the benefits of current generation technology by procuring a modern, cloud based, integration platform that will support the Business' aspirations: To significantly reduce the time taken to build new integration and accelerate the realization of business value To reduce the reliance on a team of integration specialists and move towards a 'self-service integration' model.

The selected platform will: - deliver a comprehensive suite of integration capabilities to support a wide range of business use cases - become the landing zone for some 265 interfaces that need to be migrated in the next phase from the current OFM and MuleSoft solutions that currently make up the ET integration landscape. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034323-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 21 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | 8 Jan 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL GRID ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION PLC | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2N 5EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 20 Nov 2023 at 16:43 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034323-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.nationalgrid.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
