Notice Information

Notice Title

MORPHEUS Systems Integrator

Notice Description

MORPHEUS is a PS3.2 billion programme delivering the next generation of Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (TacCIS) to the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. The objective of MORPHEUS is to provide a single information environment through a fully integrated operational information system which is seamless from the barracks, headquarters to the individual soldier, and based on an open, delaminated architecture. The MOD will be the Design Authority with the ability to procure system elements in a modular fashion via a disaggregated supply chain. This will give the Authority greater flexibility to evolve the system in line with changes in technology, policy and the operational environment. To realise the new MORPHEUS capability, the Authority requires a Systems Integrator (SI) to lead on the design and integration of the MORPHEUS products and services for applications, infrastructures and networks. The full SI Statement of Requirement will be released at the ITN stage but within the MORPHEUS Future Operating Model (FOM), the SI is expected to work collaboratively with the rest of the FOM and is likely to have the following key roles and responsibilities: a. develop, control and direct the Operational Service Management (OSM) process and provide the OSM focal point for users; b. develop detailed technical designs, in conjunction with Managed Service Providers (MSPs), to evolve and adapt the system architecture and baselines in response to capability roadmaps, technology innovation, emerging user needs, system threats and / or system obsolescence; c. manage the end-to-end process from MORPHEUS system design through change implementation to fielding; d. provide sub-system requirements, technical product specifications and statements of work to MSPs and manage MSP progress and outputs; e. maintain and control the configuration of the MORPHEUS system architecture and technical baselines on behalf of the Authority, ensuring on-going system openness; f. lead on all system integration activities, including planning, management and system acceptance testing, ensuring the upgrade and deployment of an operationally stable system that meets system availability requirements; g. lead on and manage user training design and delivery; and h. support platform delivery teams through the provision of technical design assurance services to achieve certified platform designs.
