With the Energy Management 2.0 project we want to realize the following elements:
1. data hub
Maximum efforts are made to data acquisition and disclosure of data, and this for as many data points as possible (IoT, API, [...]). And this for consumption data as well as for asset data. The aim is to achieve maximum links with external sources (eg Flemish Government databases).
2.4 Scope anchors
a) offering consumption feedback to support the public sector in transparently monitoring energy consumption and production within their assets, including alerting in case of deviating values;
b) be able to offer customer-oriented and independent energy advice to the public sector so that they are able to make the right choices and set the right priorities for energy-saving projects;
c) in the case of realized energy savings (after implementation of projects), verify the energy results. This follow-up must be user-friendly, visual and clear;
d) provide an integrated energy management system. Based on the analysis of energy performance and energy advice, Fluvius and the VEB can present an overview of energy-saving projects to their respective target group, and this about their global patrimonia;
3. Possibility for innovation / strategic developments
There must be a possibility to integrate current and future own developments (Terra) / purchased plug-ins into the purchased tool.
To realize these above matters, we must purchase the following:
1. tooling and reporting;
2. implementation, including training;
3. support for the term of the agreement.

3. support for the term of the agreement.
1. tooling and reporting
The tenderer must provide an energy management tool.
The following options are allowed for hosting the software solution:
a) a software solution with a full Software-as-a-Service (SaaS);
b) a software solution with a service on an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or a Data Center (DC), transparent to the procurer and fully managed by the tenderer (whether or not via subcontracting);
c) a software solution with a service on an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or a Datacenter (DC), managed by VEB (VEB currently has an agreement with AWS);
d) a software solution with a service on an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or a Datacenter (DC), offered by the VEB, being through the contract of Het Facility Bedrijf of the Flemish Government
The consideration to leave the IaaS / DC option open is that both procurers wish to be unburdened, but this is cost-efficient;
2. Implementation, including training
In order to be able to realize this project, an implementation of the tool still to be purchased will have to take place.
During the implementation of the application, we expect the registrant to support the following implementation steps:
a) preliminary study and analysis;
b) format information and data model;
c) architectural definition including integrations;
d) technical implementation and configuration, which includes, in addition to the setup of the application itself, the setting up of the necessary connectivity in function of data ingestion;
e) data migration;
f) setting up reporting;
g) training program - Train the Trainer principle;
h) knowledge transfer to the client and documentation;
i) aftercare;
3. Support for the duration of the agreement
We expect the contractor to be responsible for the following third-line support tasks:
a) custom development (if changes requested by Fluvius / VEB);
b) incident management / bug fixing;
c) functional support to 2nd line IT;
d) complex configurations via technical admin;
e) tasks related to ITIL service management (eg event management, capacity management, availability management, [...]).
