Opportunity overview
This is a Connected Business Platforms (CBP) requirement for the Stage 1 Expression of Interest (EOI). It is intended to provide sufficient context for suppliers to demonstrate relevant capability and experience against the published EOI evaluation criteria.
It is not the full Statement of Requirements, a final technical specification, or a request for a detailed implementation solution. The Authority’s detailed requirements, architecture material, Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM), non-functional requirements, implementation assumptions and commercial schedules will be provided or refined at the appropriate later stage.
CBP is a phased business and technology transformation intended to modernise UKHO customer-facing, integration and enterprise capabilities while maintaining continuity of critical services. The programme will progressively replace or reduce dependency on legacy platforms and interfaces, establish modern integration capability, and introduce Oracle-based commerce services while creating a foundation for future enterprise transformation.
At EOI, the Authority assesses supplier capability and relevant evidence. The final technical solution, detailed Phase 1 implementation plan, final delivery timetable, and final price / affordability are not evaluated at this stage.
