Our current technology estate encompasses combinations of in-house built solutions, PaaS, SaaS; hosted either on-prem, data centres, public cloud, private Cloud; and classified between CNI and non-CNI.\nThe successful tenderer(s) for this lot will be responsible for providing end to end capabilities to enable partnership delivery of turnkey types of agreement. This Lot will be used for call off which span two or more capabilities in the other Lots, with the expectation of full end to end management of the relevant call off. As such, capabilities for this Lot should be considered as the capabilities referred to in all other Lots, being the sum of Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well as the ability to deliver these in a coordinated way under the call off.\nIndicative examples of required capabilities are as follows:\n\tData architecture and engineering\n\tData science and analytics\n\tInformation assurance\n\tThreat intelligence\n\tSecurity operations\n\tVulnerability assessment and management\n\tData security\n\tIncident response\n\tSecurity awareness and training \n\tSecurity consultancy and expert advice\n\tSoftware and application security engineering \n\tSecurity architecture\n\tEngineering and maintenance of security services\n\tRisk assessment\n\tArchitecture \n\tSystems and software development\n\tQuality engineering \n\tInfrastructure and network support\n\tUser experience delivery\n\tDevSecOps\n\tAgile development\n\tProject management office\n\tSolution delivery management\n\tDemand management\n\tContinuity management\n\tIT governance\n\tEnd-to-end learning solutions\n\tConsultancy and expert advice\n\tData management\n\tBusiness analysis\n\tProduct management\n\tmaintenance and support\n\tDesign thinking\n\tBusiness analysis\n\tProduct management\n\tRelease management\n\tEnd-to-end digital customer experience (cx) management\nUVDB Codes to be registered on Achilles:\n2.1.2.0\tSoftware Development Services\n2.1.3.0\tSoftware Support Services\n2.1.10.0\tData Collection & Handling Services\n2.2.3.0\tIT Consultancy\n2.2.10.0\tSecurity Consultancy"

    "description": "National Grid Electricity System Operator Limited (NGESO), a legally separate business within the National Grid Group, is the electricity system operator for Great Britain. NGESO moves electricity around the system to keep homes and businesses supplied with the energy they need 24/7.\nNGESO became a legally separate business from the rest of the National Grid Group in 2019. In summer 2024, NGESO will change its name to National Energy System Operator (NESO) and become owned by the UK government.  Where in this notice we refer to NGESO, this should be understood as also including NESO after the change is taken place.\nThe Digital, Data and Technology (DD&T) organisation within NGESO provides the sourcing capabilities, roles and skills required to achieve NGESO digital deliverables.\nTo support the role of the National Energy System Operator (NGESO), we are looking to put in place a digital and data capabilities framework, encompassing the following lots: \n•\tLot 1: All Digital & Data \n•\tLot 2: Data & AI\n•\tLot 3: Security\n•\tLot 4: Engineering and Architecture\n•\tLot 5: Management\nThe lotting structure will be designed to suit a holistic or a more specialised approach to facilitate large companies and niche suppliers having places on the framework. \nThese lots will be structured as NGESO sees fit for its PQQ. Codes within this PIN cover all areas, so if interested in any of the lots, please register for the associated codes.\nThe PQQ is targeted to be launched on 3rd April 2024. Interested parties in any of the lots must be fully registered on Achilles and against all Achilles codes associated with the lot they are interested in in order to be able to participate. Please allow yourself sufficient time to complete the registration process prior to the targeted PQQ launch date. \nMore information on National Grid ESO (NGESO) can be found at https://www.nationalgrideso.com/   \nOur latest Digitalisation Strategy can be found at https://www.nationalgrideso.com/document/299416/download",
