Reservoir Act Compliance Enforcement (RACE) Application [RACE2 Re-Procurement]

Description

The Reservoir Act Compliance Enforcement (RACE) application is a business-critical system used by the National Reservoir Safety Team to support the compliance and enforcement activities mandated under the Reservoirs Safety Act (1975) and the Flood and Water Management Act (2010). Currently there are approximately ten users in the National Reservoir Safety Team across England who are responsible for managing the relationship with engineers and reservoir owners, ensuring compliance and where appropriate undertaking enforcement action. The Environment Agency are looking to select a new, single vendor that can offer cloud hosting of the existing, OpenText Documentum-based RACE platform as well as provide support and maintenance services plus additional professional services as and when needed to support future change projects. The current version of Documentum is hosted on-premise and is being upgraded to a cloud ready version. Documentum as a platform will be required for the next few years to allow the project team to focus on design of the new ‘front end’ Client Services, with re-platforming to be considered as a follow on exercise. The Government commissioned the Balmforth review into the incident at Toddbrook reservoir in 2019. This has made a number of recommendations which will change the way the Reservoir Safety team works. The software the team uses will need to be updated in order to support the potential new ways of working. Data records and documentation stored within the system are marked OFFICIAL and a handling caveat of SENSITIVE for a small subset of information marked OFFICIAL that requires special handling by staff (such as Reservoir Risk Flood Maps). A pre-market engagement presentation will be conducted on Wednesday 24th July at 3-4pm via Teams: Microsoft Teams Need help?
