This initiative aims to gather budgetary estimates and assess the viability of software technical solutions for the Business Management for Support (BMfS) programme. The engagement is ongoing, with a key milestone for submissions set for 28th March 2022, following an early market engagement notification published on 16th February 2022. The relevant location for this procurement is Bristol, England (BS34 8JH), and it encompasses a range of software-related categories as per the CPV classification, specifically focusing on software packages and information systems. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in software development and IT services, particularly those able to cater to the technical needs outlined by the Ministry of Defence. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender accessible, as they are encouraged to partake in the bidding process. Companies with expertise in areas such as enterprise resource planning, business intelligence, and analytical software development are particularly well-suited to respond, providing them an opportunity to engage with the UK government and potentially expand their business footprint. ## Notice This Business Management for Support (BMfS) early market engagement follows on from the first commercially focussed RFI that ended 25 Jan 22. This RFI is directed at suppliers of software services that could satisfy some (or all) of this programme's technical requirements. This RFI seeks to obtain a range of budgetary estimates for the end-to-end delivery of this programme and confirm the viability of the options under consideration. Responses will assist with and provide evidence for the MOD's Outline Business Case that will be submitted for approval Q2/3 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8a18397-e73e-43b3-b630-b66eef47719f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Mar 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48150000 - Industrial control software package - 48331000 - Project management software package - 48422000 - Software package suites - 48451000 - Enterprise resource planning software package - 48460000 - Analytical, scientific, mathematical or forecasting software package - 48482000 - Business intelligence software package - 48517000 - IT software package - 48611000 - Database software package - 72212460 - Analytical, scientific, mathematical or forecasting software development services - 72212461 - Analytical or scientific software development services - 72212482 - Business intelligence software development services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2022 at 17:08 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8a18397-e73e-43b3-b630-b66eef47719f - 16 Feb 2022 at 15:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b27b727-3277-4ef7-a171-7e9f7d88f0fe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8a18397-e73e-43b3-b630-b66eef47719f 7th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b27b727-3277-4ef7-a171-7e9f7d88f0fe 16th February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=53487 Link to MOD - DSP RFI ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
