    Brief

    NESO (National Energy System Operator) is conducting preliminary market engagement to identify enterprise solutions for an integrated modelling platform. As NESO transitions to an independent public corporation, it requires a modern technical platform to manage data, models, calculations, and business knowledge across the organisation while supporting energy analytics, decision-making, and AI-driven innovation. The platform must enable data lineage tracking for audit transparency, cross-model scenario analysis, and seamless integration across NESO's services and operational domains. Operating within Critical National Infrastructure constraints, the solution must comply with NESO's stringent data security and governance policies. NESO is seeking to understand market maturity, implementation options, commercial models, and supplier capabilities to inform procurement strategy. The solution should deliver improved modelling quality and stakeholder trust, faster decision-making through self-service analytics, enhanced platform interoperability, standardised energy modelling practices, modern technical capabilities for innovation, and secure, resilient services. The anticipated contract term is 5 years with optional 12-month extensions up to 2 years, subject to refinement based on market engagement discussions.
