What the buyer wants
The Hamburg Port Authority AöR (HPA) intends to conclude a framework agreement with a contractor for consulting, design, piloting, implementation and capability services for the use of AI agents in the construction industry of the Technical Division. The basis is an already existing concept with prioritized AI use cases, agent concepts and an implementation plan. This must be validated, sharpened and converted into a practical, scalable introduction approach.
The service is not a pure software or tool procurement and is advertised product- and manufacturer-neutral. The framework agreement includes a binding initial call and optional individual calls without a call obligation.
The initial retrieval includes in particular the validation of the conceptual basis and the use case portfolio, the sharpening of the target image, a reusable reference architecture, governance, data and integration concept, training framework, roadmap and retrieval planning as well as the need-based concretization of the first document-based application case “BIM templates and standards”.
Optional individual retrievals concern retrieval groups A to J, including BIM templates and standards, AIA management, structural monitoring, project documentation, strategy and governance, people and competence, tool and platform support, development and piloting of functional AI agents, operational, hosting and ambient services, and AI consulting and potential services. The client is the operator of critical infrastructures. Data is to be processed within the European Union or the European Economic Area.
The requirements of data protection, information security, protection of critical infrastructures and the AI Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 must be complied with.
