Primavera Toolset Support - Application Support

DE&S is undertaking an initial market engagement to shape the development of a new 2-year support model for Primavera Toolset Support. The support model will become operative from August 2020, following an extensive knowledge transfer from the incumbent supplier, planned for Q2 2020.

This support model has been divided into two PINs. PIN 1 is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) and PIN 2 is Application Support.

PIN 2:

DE&S have a requirement for Application Functional and Technical Support around the following product set: • EPPM • P6 Pro • Unifier • Gateway, • Primavera Risk Analyser, • Team Member • ETL from P6 / Unifier to Primavera Analytics • Oracle Business Intelligence
