languageID="DEU">CDE – Multi-Contractor Integration</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="DEU">As part of the re-tendering process for TenneT’s Content Collaboration Platform, Lot 2 encompasses a multi-vendor framework agreement focused on the integration, implementation, configuration, migration, and support of platform functionalities tailored to TenneT’s infrastructure project needs. The present tender focuses primarily on TenneT’s German operations. As beneficiaries under the SaaS Agreement, Dutch TenneT operations may optionally draw from the services that are subject hereof.  

With the re-tendering of the current Content Collaboration Platform, TenneT is aiming to continue achieving a single source of information for all documents generated in infrastructure projects and managing the supplier collaboration (external collaboration) regarding the exchange and management of documents and additional data. The targeted system is facilitating and capturing the complete project lifecycle in addition to providing auditable documentation and information throughout the organization. 

The tender procedure is divided into two lots, which will be tendered in sequence in two different tenders:
Tender 1 [Lot 1] "CDE - Collaboration-Platform for Document and Data Exchange": includes the platform provisioning, development, deployment (Implementation), initial customization and configuration, platform interfaces as well as maintenance and support of the platform and – as a proof of concept and for purposes of a successful transition – the migration of TenneT metadata as well as existing construction projects from the current to the new platform. This tender has been completed. The awarded solution is provided by ThinkProject.
Tender 2 [Lot 2]: "CDE – Multi-Contractor Integration": includes intergration and implementation services associated with the platform and comprises subsequent configuration, customization and consulting services in relation to the Content Collaboration Platform. The Lot 1 Provider must always collaborate pro-actively and in a constructive manner with any Lot 2 Contractor(s), e.g. providing access, support and knowledge transfer regarding the platform and implementing technically necessary changes within Lot 1 where mutually agreed with or commissioned by TenneT. Lot 2 will be tendered subsequent to the award of Lot 1.

Developing and maintaining structured knowledge management tools (e.g., CDE user guides, training materials, FAQs) 
Facilitating workshops to gather and refine user requirements

Providing comprehensive technical and user documentation 
Performing quality assurance and testing of developed components

languageID="DEU">CDE – Multi-Contractor Integration</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="DEU">As part of the re-tendering process for TenneT’s Content Collaboration Platform, Lot 2 encompasses a multi-vendor framework agreement focused on the integration, implementation, configuration, migration, and support of platform functionalities tailored to TenneT’s infrastructure project needs. The present tender focuses primarily on TenneT’s German operations. As beneficiaries under the SaaS Agreement, Dutch TenneT operations may optionally draw from the services that are subject hereof.  

With the re-tendering of the current Content Collaboration Platform, TenneT is aiming to continue achieving a single source of information for all documents generated in infrastructure projects and managing the supplier collaboration (external collaboration) regarding the exchange and management of documents and additional data. The targeted system is facilitating and capturing the complete project lifecycle in addition to providing auditable documentation and information throughout the organization. 

The tender procedure is divided into two lots, which will be tendered in sequence in two different tenders:
Tender 1 [Lot 1] "CDE - Collaboration-Platform for Document and Data Exchange": includes the platform provisioning, development, deployment (Implementation), initial customization and configuration, platform interfaces as well as maintenance and support of the platform and – as a proof of concept and for purposes of a successful transition – the migration of TenneT metadata as well as existing construction projects from the current to the new platform. This tender has been completed. The awarded solution is provided by ThinkProject.
Tender 2 [Lot 2]: "CDE – Multi-Contractor Integration": includes intergration and implementation services associated with the platform and comprises subsequent configuration, customization and consulting services in relation to the Content Collaboration Platform. The Lot 1 Provider must always collaborate pro-actively and in a constructive manner with any Lot 2 Contractor(s), e.g. providing access, support and knowledge transfer regarding the platform and implementing technically necessary changes within Lot 1 where mutually agreed with or commissioned by TenneT. Lot 2 will be tendered subsequent to the award of Lot 1.
