NDA9/00974 - Lot C: End-To-End Contract Management System

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has established an NDA group-wide project, “Project Victory”, to replace expiring contracts and significantly enhance the group’s current commercial IT systems capability and associated ways of working. The new systems suite will cover all aspects of how we manage our £1.9bn annual supply chain spend including: our procurement pipelines, sourcing, contracts, commercial benefits and savings tracking, identifying and managing supply chain risk, and strategic supplier relationship management.

This procurement is for the Lot C: End-to-End Contract Management System. This system will support the delivery of end-to-end project managed contracts, for example, the NEC3 and NEC4 contract families, enabling effective governance and management of delivery, compliance and risk. Where multiple contracts are put in place to deliver a project (for example, separately for design and construction), the system will provide visibility of performance across the whole project. The system will also support tailored workflows and collaboration between contract parties to manage tasks, “events” and approvals; and will provide operational reporting for commercial, project and contract managers.

The system will also support the export and import of data via Application Programming Interfaces between our Lot A: Source-to-Contract System (Atamis 3.0) to keep our master contract register (held in Atamis 3.0) up to date, and to enabling performance reporting and dashboarding through our Microsoft Power BI analytics platform.

The new systems are being procured, contracted for, or built by NDA in five parts, referred to hereafter as lots:

• Lot A: Source-to-Contract System – Atamis 3.0;
• Lot B: Market and Supplier Intelligence;
• Lot C: End-to-End Contract Management System – this Lot;
• Lot D: Supply Chain Risk Management System;
• Lot E: Analytics, Reporting and Dashboarding System – Microsoft Power BI.
