However the Tideway project is approaching completion and the organisation will transition from a project into a long term \"steady state\" model. At steady state end user numbers will reduce to 30-40 with core functions covering Finance (treasury), Regulation, limited physical (tunnel) maintenance and corporate services.\nTideway is therefore seeking a provider for Information Systems services to consolidate various services to a single holistic managed service, with services commencing around June 2025. The service provider will also assist Tideway in ongoing consolidation of providers and services, managing the reduction of end users during the transition period, and close-out of construction-phase applications and associated data archiving. With the target of achieving steady state service, application and user landscape around December 2026. Key service requirements will include, but not limited to :\n• Service Operations\n• Service Management\n• Networks\n• Security\n• Information Management\n• Project Management (professional services)\nFurther details of Tideway as an organisation and the Thames Tideway Tunnel project can be found at www.Tideway.London.",
