Tender Details
Rail Corporation New South Wales (RailCorp) is the new rail entity established to provide passenger rail services for metropolitan NSW. It has been formed through the merger of the State Rail Authority of NSW (SRA) and the Rail Infrastructure Corporation (RIC).
On 1st January 2004, RailCorp was formally established as a new state-owned corporation that has as its main focus the provision of a safe, clean, secure and reliable metropolitan passenger rail service.
RIC and SRA both independently commissioned requirement and scoping studies in March and June 2003 to capture Electronic Document Management (EDMS) requirements for their respective organisations. A decision to merge this project at a shared business services level and then the subsequent RailCorp merger put this requirement on hold.
The RailCorp merger brings together two substantial organisations, each with their own business processes, technologies and information management practices, in addition to a range of internally and externally facing websites. As a result, the RailCorp information environment today lacks integration and suffers substantial inefficiencies and quality shortfalls. Specifically:
- Relevant, reliable information is not always readily available to business process owners;
- Information that is available is highly distributed (across many different web sites and repositories), and therefore difficult to locate;
- A great deal of human effort is required to manage information stored in multiple locations (this information is often duplicated many times)
- ICT support is stretched across an excessive number of applications and technologies, thereby reducing its overall effectiveness and efficiency;
- Various information management related projects are working in isolation from each other towards goals that may not be aligned.
Addressing these problems requires an approach that effectively tackles high priority issues, while working towards a strategic, whole-of-enterprise outcome. This is the approach taken by the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Program.
As detailed in Part D- Enterprise Search Requirements, the work under this tender is scoped in 3 stages. Tenderers must submit tenders for all 3 stages.
This Preamble is in summary form only for the convenience of Tenderers and must not be relied upon by Tenderers. It is subject to the detailed requirements in Parts A-D of this Request for Tender Document (the "RFT"). Without limitation, the proposed scope of work outlined in the RFT may be subject to amendment in accordance with Addenda issued under clause A14 of the Conditions of Tendering.
