NW2624 - Integrated Project Controls Software (PMO Tooling)
Authority: NORTHUMBRIAN WATER LIMITED
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionNWL requires a project controls solution (IPC) to help it manage risk, cost, schedule and collaboration and this exercise is to help NWL decide on the best project controls toolset for its business needs.
The Project Control environment currently within Northumbrian Water carries out a cyclical service to the business. However, it accepts that it does not provide this service as efficiently nor as effectively as it could be due to several system constraints.
The business needs to stabilise and reduce the amount of different data sources when managing projects or portfolios and strive towards a single source of truth. In turn, this will release Project Control to concentrate on project management analytics and insight - making project decisions, instead of transposing data. The business also needs far simpler processes and procedures, so issues can be identified, impacts understood, and defined remedies applied.
The software should deliver the following benefits to NWL's project management community :
- Reducing Project Management and control time in report production allowing more targeted and focused effort in more high return areas
- Improved programme management, enabled through the complete integration of project data into the single platform.
- Remove the existing legacy Excel documents managing key functions (Change Forms, Change Register, Schedule Comments & PA Forecast Interface.
- Defined business processes and systems for Cost Control, Change Management & Project Comments.
- Improved consistency in project control information and reports through the removal of error traps in work such as transposition of data
- Improve the management and visibility of Changes to the Budgets, Forecast and Risk across the programme.
Prerequisite :
The IPC software solution must integrate with Oracle Primavera Cloud.
