    "description": "Introduction and Purpose \nPlatform Housing Group (\"the Authority\") is preparing to undertake a major transformation initiative, Together in Data, which aims to create a unified, cloud-first data ecosystem across the organisation. At the heart of this programme is the implementation of Microsoft Fabric as the foundation of a modern, scalable, and secure cloud data platform. \nThe purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to: \nInform the market of this upcoming opportunity. \nGather supplier insights that will shape our procurement strategy, solution design, and implementation approach. \nUnderstand market capability across cloud data platforms, Fabric-based architectures, data engineering, governance, and AI/ML readiness. \nValidate our assumptions and ensure an optimal, futureproofed commercial and technical route. \nThis notice does not initiate a formal procurement process. \nBackground \nPlatform's current data landscape is fragmented, with multiple systems, shadow databases, inconsistent reporting, and low confidence in data quality. Staff experience frustration with data accessibility, reliability, and responsiveness. \nThe Together in Data initiative proposes: \nA cloud-first, Microsoft Fabric-based data platform incorporating Data Factory, OneLake, Power BI, Warehouse, and governance tooling. \nA single, trusted environment spanning raw → working → curated data layers. \nA unified data model enabling Customer 360, Home 360, Repairs, Assets, Finance and other critical subject areas. \nA data ecosystem that supports AI, ML, predictive analytics, automated insight, improved decision making, and self-service analytics. \nScope of the Proposed Procurement \nThe Authority anticipates procuring a partner (or partners) to support the design, build, testing, governance, and early life support of the new data platform. Indicative scope areas include: \n3.1 Core Technical Requirements \nMicrosoft Fabric tenant and associated Azure configuration (security, workspaces, licensing). \nDevelopment of raw/working/curated data lakehouse layers. \nOn premise and cloud data ingestion pipelines. \nData modelling, transformation, and semantic layer creation for enterprise datasets. \nMigration from an existing limited Microsoft data lakehouse structure. \nIntegration with 3rd party data sets. \nCI/CD automation and platform observability tooling. \nEnvironment strategy (Dev / Test / Prod). \nIntegration with Dynamics 365 CRM and Finance & Operations. \nIntegration with other line of business applications. \n3.2 Governance & Operating Model \nMeet the requirements of a Platform's data governance framework (including Data quality, lineage, cataloguing, and access control standards). \nGDPR compliant data retention and observability improvements. \nSupport the enablement and operational activities surrounding Data Use Act, SARs, STAIRS. \n3.3 Business Facing Deliverables \nProduction of trusted Power BI datasets, dashboards, and AIready data assets. \nEstablishment of a Platform wide data Community of Practice. \nTraining and capability uplift for business users and analysts. \nSupport for priority use cases including Customer 360, Home 360, asset forecasting, neighbourhood intelligence, and proactive home checks.",
