Common Data Environment Software

Common Data Environment (CDE)
This preliminary market engagement is intended to inform Severn Trent's approach to procuring a Common Data Environment (CDE) capability to support capital delivery across a large, multi party project portfolio. The purpose of this engagement is to understand current market capabilities, delivery models, and integration approaches,
Modular and best of breed approaches are explicitly in scope, provided they can operate effectively at enterprise scale and integrate with adjacent systems including design authoring applications.
This PME is focused solely on CDE capabilities. References to design tools or asset information are limited to integration and contextual use within the CDE and should not be interpreted as requirements for authoring functionality or full asset data management, which are being considered separately.
We are interested in hearing about CDE platforms with the following key capabilities:
• Multi-organisation and user management, including configurable roles, permissions, and access controls across programmes and projects
• ISO 19650-aligned information management, including document-level quality assurance workflows, approvals, status codes, and controlled transitions between WIP, Shared, and Published states
• Standards-compliant metadata and naming, with robust version control and auditability
• Ability to capture and manage information against an asset or system hierarchy defined by project requirements, for contextual association and retrieval of documents and models within the CDE.
• Comprehensive viewing and interrogation of industry-standard file formats (e.g. RVT, IFC, DWG, DWF), including measurement, inspection, and markup tools
• Native or integration-led model federation and coordination capabilities
• High performance and scalability to support a large portfolio (e.g. thousands of concurrent projects and large data volumes)
• Support for either in-platform or integration-led document editing and...
