Description
The EA has used a flood warning system (FWS) to deliver a flood warning service to the public, partners and the media for over twenty years. The current system has remained largely unchanged for many years. FWS is supported by satellite systems maintained by the EA and third-party suppliers in order to provide accurate and up-to-date information to users. This is a complex technology estate, and includes telemetry systems, forecasting systems and services all feeding into messages being issued from the FWS.
The capabilities required for NFWS are summarised below:
a. to implement and cutover to the Supplier Solution in its entirety (the "Beta") within eighteen (18) months of the Effective Date; b. to provide the core NFWS functionality for Users within England: ⢠define (geographic) Operational Boundaries and Target Areas; ⢠provide a Common Operational Picture by region; ⢠create Warnings and manage Warnings in force; ⢠allow Users and Organisations to Register to receive Warnings; ⢠issue location-based Warnings and other Messages through multiple Contact Channels; ⢠obtain contact details for Unregistered Users for a region; ⢠ingest data or publish data to GIS systems, address systems, flood risk mapping systems, telemetry systems, forecasting systems, and data sharing systems. c. provide product delivery, user-centered services, IT Service Management and hosting; d. provide the capability to introduce future services, such as additional geospatial services, new Contact Channels (e.g. social media, smart devices, mobile app), new flood and/or geospatial related digital services, and new Message types (e.g. environment related incidents, such as drought); and e. provide the option for other Defra Group bodies, Risk Management Authorities, and other UK government departments to utilise the Services.
NFWS must have a product roadmap which includes functionality readily available in the proposed product suite beyond the functionality currently stated in the draft Contract that the EA may wish to implement via the Change Control Procedure. In addition, the Supplier must propose new ideas, innovations, and service improvements via a bi-annual Continuous Improvement Plan.
The pre-qualification for this procurement has now concluded. The shortlisted suppliers are Accenture (UK) Limited, Fujitsu Services Limited, IBM United Kingdom Limited and Leidos Innovations UK Ltd.
