Strategic Research and Advisory Support of IT and Cyber

Wales & West Utilities (WWU) seeks to procure a Data Advisory Services partner capable of providing expert, independent, and actionable guidance across data strategy, governance, analytics, architecture, and emerging technologies. The partner must deliver trusted, vendor neutral advisory services that support IT, Cyber, Risk, Asset, and Business functions in making evidence based decisions and maturing WWU's data capabilities.

WWU is continuously modernising its IT and data landscape and requires a research and advisory partner to support. WWU currently has a partner providing these services, however this tender is driven by the need to reengage with the market after many years since its last tender.
