View Scheme - SCM7971

Digital Engineering (DE) is now recognised as global best practice for infrastructure agencies, as a growing number of government and client organisations are now mandating the use of DE techniques and deliverables from their supply chain.

DE is a collaborative way of working, using digital processes, to enable more productive methods of planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining our assets. This is achieved by creating a Common Data Environment (CDE), that aligns digital information systems including Computer Aided Design (CAD), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), electronic document management, project controls (time, cost, risk etc), asset data and other related systems.

Over recent years DE has been implemented on a project-by-project basis, to achieve project benefits such as improved safety, reduced risk and greater cost certainty. In order to achieve more enduring, whole-of-life benefits DE implementation requires a consistently, standards-led approach, supported by an overarching strategy. This scheme has been developed to establish has a pool of suppliers that are prequalified, to supply necessary DE services to NSW Government.

Applicants will be required to address all questions, and provide supporting documentation where required.

Applicant should read and fully understand the Term and Conditions of the Scheme, and the Guidelines for Applicants.
