This procurement, classified under the industry category of software package and information systems, is currently in the planning stage. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 28th March 2022. This process is focused on obtaining budgetary estimates for DevOps services and tools, aiming to inform the MOD's Outline Business Case. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in DevOps services, software development, and IT consultancy. Businesses that provide software solutions, project management tools, or software support services will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Engaging with the MOD can lead to long-term partnerships and contract wins that enhance business growth in the defence sector. Interested suppliers should monitor the upcoming stages following the planning phase and prepare to submit proposals that align with MOD's requirements. ## Notice The MOD has developed a pan-Defence strategy to modernise support, namely 'Business Modernisation for Support' (BMfS).
