This initiative falls under the software package and information systems category and is expected to take place at various locations, including Portsmouth, and potentially across the UK and British Overseas Territories.

The total contract value is estimated at £30 million over a period of three years, with two optional years. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, operational services, outsourcing, and digital transformation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete given the inclusive nature of the procurement strategy. With the emphasis on delivering a range of services, including data analytics and career management solutions, firms with expertise in technology development and service integration can strategically position themselves to enhance their market presence through this contract. ## Notice The purpose of this notice is to update Industry on the Royal Navy's Shared Service Centre, including an update on the indicative commercial timetable.
