NIE Networks has identified that a land and property management system is required which will manage all NIE Networks legal title, wayleave agreements and support the transition to faster payments/BACS providing an overall better level of customer satisfaction and ease of business process.
A Wayleave and Property Management System would provide centralised control and case management for property issues; including lease acquisitions, renewals, rent reviews and other property related issues and manage our 10,000 existing title records. Furthermore, the system will have the ability to contain all of the data on wayleave agreements, customer names and addresses and have the ability to pay out c£5m per year to over 120,000 grantors. The system must provide integration with the company GIS system (ESRI), Maximo, SAP finance and SoftCo document storage. Ideally the system would provide integration with a document signing program to facilitate a future electronic wayleave.
Should a separate decision be made to proceed with the procurement of the land and property management system, it will be launched under a separate process at a later date. Any interested parties will still be required to apply separately when launched & expressing an interest in the market engagement shall in no way be accepted as registering an interest. Additionally, expressing an interest in the market engagement will not be a prerequisite in relation to the future tender competition. Please note this is not a Call for Competition.
