ECHA/2020/666  Annex 1 to Tender Specifications  Technical Specifications Restricted  11 (77) The division into lots looks at the different skillset required across the dimension of the  RGT model and emphasize the specific relevance and focus of the services envisaged under  Lot 1 -  Transform  and Lot 2 -  Grow / Run  respectively . Considering that ECHA IT Enterprise Architecture is highly integrated and increasingly  based on common building blocks, a successful interaction between the two lots becomes  necessary and all contractors shall have a core responsibility in ensuring a smooth and  fluid collaboration in this direction. In this sense, and as one of the building blocks for FWC666, ECHA expects also to leverage  on the harmonisation of practices and the use of common toolchains for the SDLC and for  Build & Deploy. Whereas, a decision of ECHA on the use of the lots shall be deemed final, as a general  rule, the work between the lots is allocated according to the following:  With regard to the above, it is noted that the initial selection of the contractor in Lot 1 for  the delivery of a specific service (e.g. the development of a prototype or minimum viable  product etc.) may be maintained for several years (potentially through several subsequent  P.O.

Will be considered for the activities supporting the evolution of the ECHA  Enterprise Architecture and the definition of new architectural targets within the  established governance cycles.  4. Will be considered for the development of prototypes and minimum viable  products. Further development may also take place in Lot 1 , subject to ECHA’s  decision. If the case, all services necessary to develop, build & deploy, basic  maintenance, may be required by the Contractor under Lot 1 until transitioning  to Lot 2 (handover/takeover).  3. Will be considered when ECHA identifies a transformative initiative. For  example, a new capability or a deep refactoring of an existing capability, even  though the implementation could be achieved by a combination of Lot 1 and Lot  2 activities (new developments under Lot 1 and changes to existing components  identified under Lot 1 but to be addressed under Lot 2). This is typically covered  in Inception activities or studies leading to the definition of early architectural  blueprints. 2. Shall serve ECHA in the provision of specialised services (e.g. impact analysis  expertise etc.) and peer review/ quality assurance activities, in particular for  services delivered under Lot 2 but not excluding for services delivered under  Lot 1 and subject to the provision of conflict of interest (refer also to section  3.2.4 of the Tender Specifications).  1.
