This procurement falls within the industry category of Micro-channel architecture and Information technology services. The engagement end date is set for May 17, 2024. The Ministry of Defence seeks support for a specialist user with operational demands, mainly based in West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses to engage with the Ministry of Defence on emerging requirements for an IT Enterprise Service Model (ESM). Suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), this procurement aims to address the evolving challenges in Defence through innovative solutions and a problem-centric approach. Businesses with expertise in technology integration and operations for the modern warfighting environment could find this tender well-suited for competitive engagement and potential growth opportunities. ## Notice Given the challenges increasingly faced by Defence, with the need for agility and pace, a change in the way services are procured, delivered, and managed must be considered as a core element of capability. This market engagement event is an opportunity for the Authority to engage early with suppliers on emerging requirements for an IT Enterprise Service Model (ESM) and our procurement approach. The requirement is for support to a Ministry of Defence (MOD) specialist user with operational demands that span the broadest and most complex requirements. This requires the ability to utilise, integrate, and operate technologies that provide significant advantages in the modern warfighting environment against all adversaries. The nature of this competitive edge requires industry partners to operate as part of a federated joint mission partner approach to maximise the effectiveness of the whole force, where technical risk is managed at the highest level. Operating in the SECRET Domain, the service will predominantly be UK based, but will operate globally. This creates opportunities for a combined problem centric approach to solving challenges at pace, experimenting with innovative solutions, as well as traditional support requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1d24a7-6e3d-4ca8-8a10-610909bec3a6 | | 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 | 8 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 May 2024 | | 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 | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48628000 - Micro-channel architecture - 72222300 - Information technology services ## Release History - 8 Apr 2024 at 15:33 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1d24a7-6e3d-4ca8-8a10-610909bec3a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1d24a7-6e3d-4ca8-8a10-610909bec3a6 8th April 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c2d49bf4-c434-4403-a668-e9cbc2a02d25 n/a - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=57982 PIN for IT ENTERPRISE SERVICE MODEL (ESM) MARKET ENGAGEMENT FOR SPECIALIST USER ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
