What is being bought

Published requirement description

To procure and implement a modern, scalable, cloud-based Asset Investment Planning and Management (AIPM) system delivered as a SaaS solution. The system must enable optimised, risk-informed investment decisions across the asset base and support long-term planning (up to 50 years), cost-benefit optimisation, emergent risk management, cost capture and modelling, and cost estimation. It should integrate seamlessly with existing digital architecture, improve transparency, regulatory compliance, and deliver whole-life value from asset investments while remaining adaptable to emerging risks and business priorities. The anticipated contract term is 10 years from implementation, with an estimated value of £8,000,000.

  • How the procedure runs: This procurement will follow a structured, multi-stage process designed to ensure transparency and value. The procedure will begin with a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to assess baseline compliance and capability. Qualified suppliers will then be invited to submit a Request for Information (RFI), which will be scored to identify the top four candidates progressing to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage. The RFP will include a demonstration component as part of the scored evaluation to validate technical and functional requirements. Following this, commercial negotiations will take place to refine terms and achieve best value before final award.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Asset Investment Management Planning (inc Cost Capture & Modelling &…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
