Bi-Annual Release Strategy Discussion
Modifications Committee Meeting 46
Dec 5th 2012

First Amending Agreement
•
Beginning with the April 2010 release to the CMS, SEMO entered into a contractual
arrangement with our vendors as follows:
•
•
•
•
SEMO committed to six bi-annual releases over a period of three years;
Each release guaranteed a minimum of 6,125 hours of billable work for ABB/Brady;
Total contract commitment of 36,750 hours.
This agreement provided a number of key benefits to the SEM:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Guaranteeing vendor resource availability for the delivery of change to the SEM over the
lifetime of the contract;
A structured and practical release schedule (April and October each year);
A volume discounted rate of €185 / hour (saving of approximately 20% on ESA rate);
In-built mechanism for challenging vendors on costs;
Known up-front costs: rate was protected against ECI and there was no exposure to
USD/EUR exchange rate fluctuations;
Flexibility to purchase additional hours if required;
Alignment with release strategy;
Improved programme co-ordination; and
Open and Transparent – Modifications Committee and SDS forums.

First Amending Agreement
•
The FAA is expiring - the April 2013 release (SEM R2.2.0) will be the last CMS release
under the current contractual framework.
•
There is uncertainty over the future appetite for change given initiatives underway at
present (e.g. Market Integration).
•
However T&SC and SDS changes are still being submitted and considered and a
mechanism must exist to enable SEMO to implement change if directed.
•
On this basis we would propose that our vendors are engaged, under similar terms as
the expiring FAA, but in the context of a reducing level of change to be implemented
over the medium term (i.e. 3 years).
•
SEMO have had discussions with the Regulatory Authorities regarding a new proposal
and they are in agreement that a framework to deliver change going forward is
warranted.
8
Proposal to deliver change
SEMO would propose that we enter into an agreement with our vendors as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Implementation of six bi-annual releases , commencing with the October 2013 release;
Implementation timelines would be unchanged, i.e. April and October;
Each release to have a capacity of 3000 hours of billable work for ABB / Brady – this
represents a 50% reduction on the previous agreement and reflects the potential for a
reducing level of change going forward;
Release Capacity can flex as required:
• Unused capacity from one release would be available for the following release –
no loss of hours;
• Should additional capacity be required for a release it may be allocated from a
subsequent release;
Approval process (Modifications Committee, SDS) would be unchanged;
Capacity allocations would be unchanged (80% Modification Proposals, 20% SDS):
• Approved Modification Proposals take precedence
• Unused capacity is available to the other change stream
Should additional capacity be required for the final release the existing flexibility re
purchasing hours would apply.
9
Applicable Rates
There would be an escalation of the hourly rate based on a number of factors:
• Employment Cost index (US National), averaging 2.6% over the previous
agreement ;
• USD/EUR exchange rate deviation since the previous agreement was signed;
(approx 10%);
• Reduced commitment (36,000 hours lowering to 18,000) would result in a
lower discounted volume rate;
• SEMO would anticipate a negotiated discounted rate, the level of which would
be based on the release commitment over the lifetime of the contract.
Rate would be fixed for the duration of the agreement, i.e. No exposure to:
• Employment inflation cost; and
• Deviation in exchange rates;
