Thames Water has awarded a new contract for the provision of Common Data Environment Services for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project to London-based Asite Solutions Limited.
The contract covers the provision of a CDE Common Data Environment (CDE) which Thames Tideway Tunnel is required to provide in compliance with PAS1192 guidelines, notably for the exchange, coordination, compliance and storage of data.
The CDE will be used to exchange a variety of data entities (including drawings, BIM models, setting-out data, correspondence (including NEC3 communications), reports, financial cost data, risk register data, images, and programmes) initially between the Project Managers and Contractors.
The package will also involve the hosting (if required), design, implementation, maintenance and support of the CDE with relevant skills and resources to fulfil the project's needs.
The implementation phase of the project is expected to commence from October 2014 and delivered no later than March 2015, with ongoing support and maintenance until 2023.
The contract has been awarded by Thames Water Utilities Ltd with the intention that it will be novated in due course to the standalone Infrastructure Provider (IP) currently being procured by Thames. The effect of novation will be to discharge the original contract between two parties (the continuing party and the outgoing party) and substitute it with a new contract between the continuing party and a new party (the incoming party). Any novation would be at the IP's discretion.
Three companies were in the bidding for the contract.
Last month Asite was selected as Costain's Preferred Information Management Strategy Solution Provider on the Hammersmith Flyover Project.
