## Summary

Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive, trading as Nexus, is considering consultancy support on data governance and management. The work would review Nexus’s existing data governance arrangements, establish data management and governance processes, and develop a proposed organisational structure. The scope may be refined through supplier feedback, including suggestions for amendments or additional activities that suppliers would typically undertake. The related expertise spans business analysis consultancy and data-processing services. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified in the procurement information. Nexus is seeking views on the scope and on possible delivery approaches, timescales and indicative costs to inform its planning for this potential requirement.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Nexus has set out a potential requirement and is conducting preliminary market engagement, not inviting tenders. The engagement is intended to gather supplier feedback on the proposed scope, delivery approaches, timescales and indicative costs; it does not commit Nexus to a future procurement. Suppliers are asked to submit comments through the stated procurement portal by 16 October 2026, with responses limited to 10 pages. Nexus expects the contract period, if the work proceeds, to run from 1 January 2027 to 30 June 2028. The requirement is organised as one lot. No procurement procedure, tender evaluation criteria or contract value has been established at this planning stage.

This engagement is relevant to consultancies with experience reviewing data governance arrangements and translating findings into practical data management and governance processes. Suppliers able to develop organisational structure proposals, assess a proposed scope and recommend appropriate additional activities can offer particularly useful input. Nexus is also seeking views on delivery approaches, likely timescales and indicative costs, so providers with a grounded understanding of how this work can be structured and delivered will be well placed to contribute. The scope combines business analysis consultancy with data-processing expertise and may suit firms that can bring both perspectives, either directly or through a team. At this stage, the commercial value and final scope remain part of market feedback, and participation is for planning rather than bidding for an awarded contract.
