Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has issued a tender for the DSEP Platforms Framework, seeking platform interconnectivity software development services. The procurement process involves a competitive Negotiated procedure with 2 LOTS. The expected Contract Award date is June/July 2023, with an anticipated total value of up to £100M for the initial 2-year duration.

This tender for platform and innovation services by the Ministry of Defence presents an opportunity for businesses in the software development industry. Companies offering COTS/MOTS supported platforms and tools for modelling and simulation are well-suited to compete. Businesses capable of meeting the technical thresholds and demonstrating past relevant work are encouraged to participate. The tender process allows for potential growth opportunities with extensions and mini-competitions, providing a platform for companies to showcase their expertise and secure contracts within the public procurement landscape.

Notice Title

DSEP Platforms Framework

Notice Description

The Authority has a developing requirement for a new framework to procure platform and innovation services. The intent of the framework is to provide a choice of Platforms that will meet the requirement of new and emerging use cases seeking to develop modelling and simulation applications. The Framework shall have an initial duration of 24 Months with an Option to extend for a further 12 Months. All Call Off Contracts may have a maximum duration of 5 Years. The Framework has an anticipated Contract Award date of June/July 2023. The competition shall follow the DSPCR 2011 competitive Negotiated procedure and shall consist of 2 LOTS. Potential bidders are invited to register their interest in receiving an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to join the framework by first completing the associated Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Suppliers may bid for one or both Lots and all bidders that meet the minimum criteria as outlined in the DPQQ shall be invited to participate in the ITN phase of the competition. The Authority cannot guarantee any quantity of work being put through the framework, but the framework may have an overall total limit of liability (for both LOTs) of up to a maximum of PS100M for the initial 2-year duration. The Authority intends to conduct further mini-competitions where it is obvious that more than one platform could fulfil the use case platform requirement. The Authority may introduce further LOTS throughout the duration of the Framework. The Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is Moderate (Reference - RAR-220061707).
