Engagement process description

Nexus is undertaking an initiative to replace its existing Asset Management System with a modern, robust solution. The current system has reached its operational limits, hindering efficiency, data accuracy and overall asset management effectiveness.

By investing in a state-of-the-art Asset Management System, Nexus expects to achieve significant improvements in asset visibility, maintenance planning, financial management and reporting.

Nexus intends to circulate a questionnaire through the North East Procurement Organisation OPEN eProcurement portal, allowing you to provide more information about your interest and comment on the proposed approach.

Suppliers will need to register to gain free access to procurement documents and, to submit questionnaire responses. If you are not registered, you can do so here:

This Preliminary Market Engagement aims to:

• Understand the market's appetite and capability to deliver a compliant asset management system.

• Assess the markets views on Nexus Terms and Conditions

• Explore key delivery considerations

• Understand risks and issues not previously considered

• Provide potential suppliers with an opportunity to raise queries or suggest amendments in advance of any formal procurement.
