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 collaborative authoring, beyond a simple file repository model
Ability to work with a range of file types, including common office formats and digital design files, noting that not all formats are expected to be edited natively
Compliance with organisational information security, data hosting, and residency policies (e.g. UK or EU-based hosting)
Open APIs and integration capabilities, including exposure of file metadata for downstream reporting and analytics platforms (e.g. Power BI)
Task, issue, and workflow management associated with documents and models
Mobile access via applications or equivalent interfaces
Support for digital design referencing mechanisms (e.g. external references, links, data shortcuts)
Native forms functionality to support structured data capture
Strong platform administration capabilities, including user management, licensing, and programme-wide configuration (via UI or APIs)
Comprehensive activity logging and audit trails linking user actions to file and data changes
Ability to synchronise file metadata with drawing and model title blocks, with bi-directional updates where applicable
Automated PDF rendition and publishing triggered by workflow status changes
