Environmental Data Management - Early Engagement

The Coal Authority is considering options for a single data storage system which will consolidate our environmental data sets, incorporate data processing, quality checking and editing tools (including recording of any automated, or manual data changes) and make the data more accessible for use across the business. Calculation of weir ratings & uncertainties and sample scheduling would also be useful additional tools. Data analysis suited to rapidly creating statistics from time series data is desirable.

We would like to invite interested companies to make expressions of interest for potential involvement in a future tender process by way of responding to this advert, and if desired, providing a short summary (no longer than 2 pages) of how your solution could add value for us and offering suggestions on how we might fulfil our objectives through any future tender process

Please see the attached document for more information.

Please express your interest by contacting Gareth Billings, Procurement Business Partner at garethbillings@coal.gov.uk no later than midday Friday 15/01/2021
