The SFM goal is to deliver a solution for the management of the Environment Agency’s AM files which will be based on standardised and governed processes and include the supporting technological capability to carry out these processes. The desired solution will ensure that documentation relevant to an asset’s entire lifecycle is effectively managed and can be retrieved and accessed by a wide range of users in a number of formats. The business objectives of this procurement are as follows: • Implement a compliant, centralised file management system. • Create a single source of truth supporting the entire asset lifecycle. • Enable accurate, trusted Business Intelligence. • Achieve ISO19650 and ISO55000 compliance. • Improve file accessibility, storage, sharing, and user experience. • Enhanced data governance and risk mitigation (e.g., reduced security and legal risks). • Reduced inefficiencies, such as duplication and process waste. • Ensure connectivity and interoperability with other Asset Management systems to support efficient sharing and consistency of asset information. • Support carbon reduction and improved sustainability through streamlined practices. • Provide the option for other Defra Group Bodies (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations#department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs) and other UK "Paying Agencies" to utilise the contract. The purpose of this notice is for DEFRA (on behalf of the EA) to make known that a Further Competition is being conducted via a Competitive Flexible procedure for Procurement of Enterprise Asset Management Common Data Environment (CDE).
