OAC/OBIEE to Power BI Migration Utility
Authority: NHS Business Services Authority (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) is a Special Health Authority and an Arm's Length Body of the Department of Health and Social Care. We provide a range of critical central services to NHS Organisations (our 'clients'), NHS contractors, health bodies, patients and the public (our 'customers').
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) is undertaking a strategic initiative to modernise its data visualisation capabilities by transitioning from Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) to Microsoft Power BI. This migration is part of a broader effort to enhance accessibility, interactivity, and alignment with NHSBSA’s data visualisation standards.
The dashboards and reports currently hosted on OAC/OBIEE primarily utilise Prescriptions and Dental datasets, and vary in complexity, from simple tabular reports to highly interactive dashboards with advanced filtering and drill-down capabilities.
At this stage, high-level input from suitable suppliers is required to allow the NHSBSA to assess the market and to inform any future procurement strategy, ensuring compliance with The Procurement Act 2023 and/or the Public Contract Regulations 2015 as the case maybe.
Interested parties must register an interest in this RFI via health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ↗ (search opportunities using system reference C378415). Suppliers can register from 22nd August 2025 and the RFI documents will be made available on 22nd August 2025.
The window for clarification questions will close on 1st September 2025 at 16:00 pm, and written RFI responses are requested by no later than 12th September 2025 at 12:00 pm.
Suppliers should note that this RFI is a market research exercise only, and is not an invitation to tender. The NHSBSA is not under any obligation to run a procurement exercise after this RFI has been undertaken.
