Notice Title

703025450 - BMfS - Operational Data Services

Notice Description

The MOD has developed a pan-Defence strategy to modernise support, namely 'Business Modernisation for Support' (BMfS). We are currently conducting Early Market Engagement with this RFI focussed on suppliers of Operational Data Services that facilitate the management of multiple cloud-based software solutions and provide timely access to assured data independently of where it resides to enable Defence Support to "do more with our data". This RFI seeks to obtain a range of budgetary estimates for the delivery of this programme and confirm the viability of options under consideration. Both will in turn assist with the formation of the MOD's Outline Business Case.
