This iSM tender project will evaluate suppliers that will support BKW in industrialising and optimising its reading process. The purpose of the tender is to find and implement a comprehensive, fully optimised solution, taking the end-to-end reading process into consideration. Procurement is structured into lots in Simap. Some of the lots are optional and will not necessarily be awarded – they are explicitly described as options in the tender documentation. Lots/options will be awarded individually to one or several providers depending on the lot/option. Different lots/options may be awarded to the same provider. Lots/options from the same provider or joint providers may be combined, and doing so is desirable.

This tender documentation also contains the pre-qualification documentation. The most suitable providers will receive the RFP documentation, which will be used to prepare a proposal. Discussions will be held with the providers to facilitate preparation of the final proposal. The aim here is to determine an optimised package solution that meets BKW’s requirements while making use of the providers’ expertise.
