Description of the procurement
As part of the push of data science across the organisation ESB recognises that some companies may already have expertise in the use of Data Science in a utility or comparable assets based company where some ‘generic’ algorithms may exist. ESB will contract with one or more of the vendors, who will be appointed to the framework panel following the Request for Tender (RFT) stage, to benefit from any industry learning or pre-existing analytical work that companies may have experience in. the type of use cases that might be of interest would include things like*:
— predictive maintenance of assess (particularly generation or network distribution assets),
— energy trading related activities,
— end customer related activities like segmentation etc,
— technical analysis around IT storage management,
— shared services process activity optimisation.
*above list is not exhaustive, but illustrative.
Other areas / experience a vendor feels would be relevant to ESB will be considered. It is envisaged that this lot would provide ESB with an opportunity to engage with some vendors who have previously developed relevant advanced analytics model which would be transferrable to ESB. The engagement could involve model implementation for ESB and associated effort to do so. These models do not necessarily need to be Hadoop specific.
For this lot a panel of vendors will be appointed at the RFT stage who are evaluated as the most economically advantageous proposals. A min-tender will be completed as part of this Lot and vendors will be invited to reply to each mini tender as and when they arise.
