The tender falls under the Services category related to the oil and gas industry. The procurement, initiated as a tender, is at the award stage with a contract signed on 6th March 2024. The system requirements include cloud-based SaaS for 10 years, cyber security compliance with NIS Regulations 2018, and interfacing with specific gas-related software and databases. The opportunity to supply the Integrated Demand System presents a lucrative chance for businesses specialising in enterprise-level web applications for the oil and gas industry. Companies offering cloud-based solutions with a focus on data management, network analysis, and cybersecurity are well-suited to compete. Given the long-term SaaS requirement and the need to comply with industry-specific standards, businesses with expertise in gas network analysis software and secure data handling are primed for success in this tender. ## Notice IDS is a modern enterprise scale web application which allows the user to derive and manage demand data for use in gas network analysis software. The gas network analysis capability is one of WWU's Safety Case commitments and is used to make investment and operational decisions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 WWU's current Demand Derivation System (DDS) was developed by Transco in 2002 when they owned and operated all the UKs Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs). This was a bespoke system created to work with other bespoke Network Analysis software. This software provided by Advantica / DNV was used by all GDNs after network sale in 2005. The DDS system was later developed and updated as the Integrated Demand System (IDS). All the other UK GDNs moved to this new system, but WWU chose to retain the DDS system. WWU's DDS system has now reached its end of life, does not integrate well with its surrounding systems and is extremely challenging to support or change, leading to significant manual intervention to manage certain key business processes. WWU intends to replace the current DDS system with IDS used by all the other UK GDNs. The Integrated Demand System (IDS) is a modern enterprise scale web application which allows the user to derive and manage demand data for use in network analysis software. The network analysis capability is one of WWU's Safety Case commitments and is used to make investment and operational decisions. Options: 5 years plus 5 further 1-year options (Total 10 years) ### Procurement Information WWU believe services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator and competition is absent for technical reasons.
