Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is preparing to initiate a competitive procurement process for the Joint Equipment Maintenance Management Application (JEMMA), which aims to enhance the management information systems for military equipment used by the UK Armed Forces. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 7 January 2022. The procurement process is classified under the CPV code for warehouse management systems and is scheduled to include an Industry Day on 29 September 2021 at their Boscombe Down site, providing a platform for suppliers to showcase their solutions ahead of the official tender announcement.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the software development and defence contracting sectors, particularly those specialising in management information systems and logistics solutions. Companies that can deliver intuitive warehouse management and inventory control software are well-suited to compete. Participation in the upcoming Industry Day will provide valuable insights, although non-participation will not preclude suppliers from submitting tenders later. Therefore, businesses are encouraged to engage actively in this process to explore potential collaboration with the Ministry of Defence.

Notice Title

Joint Equipment Maintenance Management Application (JEMMA)

Notice Description

The Support Chain Information Team (SCIS) within Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) is preparing to initiate a competitive procurement process to award a contract for a new Joint Equipment Maintenance Management Application (JEMMA). JEMMA will replace the JAMES capability currently provided. JEMMA will provide an intuitive and powerful Management Information System (MIS) through a managed service, that delivers a range of tools delivering a true through-life management capability for the millions of military equipment assets used by the UK Armed Forces. JEMMA will be relied upon by the Ministry of Defence and their supporting contractors to rapidly identify the location, quantity, configuration and mission-readiness of all its land-based equipment, and increasingly those supporting operations at sea. This system will be key in the management of equipment activity and tasking with detailed focus on through life maintenance activities, as well as connecting the supply chain and other MOD logistics systems on which the UK's Armed Forces equipment rely. JEMMA must be able to support rapid, insightful and cost-effective decision making to ensure the sustainment of UK defence global operations. Prior to initiating the procurement, the Authority intends to hold an Industry Day on 29 September 2021 at the MOD site at Boscombe Down. Attendance is by application only and full details of the process to be followed will be published in a subsequent notice that shall be published in August 2021. The Authority is also exploring the feasibility of conducting one-to-one sessions following the Industry Day to afford suppliers the opportunity to demonstrate the capability of their potential solutions. Please note that non-participation in either the Industry Day or the parallel one-to-one preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any supplier from subsequently expressing an interest to response to the Contract Notice and PQQ. For further information on this opportunity please visit www.contracts.mod.uk and the Opportunities Listing at https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=51826 Additional information: A Market Information Pack was made available to suppliers who responded to the Request for Information reference SCIS/RFI/001 published on 1 October 2020 which provided further details of the scope of this complex requirement and its associated Business Processes (at that time). For a copy of this Market Information Pack please contact the SCIS team through the Defence Sourcing Portal messaging function. Any questions related to the JEMMA project should be directed to the SCIS team via the Defence Sourcing Portal messaging function. You must not take this announcement to mean confirmation that MOD shall award a contract for this requirement. The MOD is publishing this announcement without any commitment to issue a tender or place a contract. Accordingly, any expenditure, work or effort undertaken before contract award is a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential suppliers.
