This initiative falls under the integrated engineering services category, with a total contract value of approximately £615 million. The procurement method is selective, following a negotiated procedure, and is currently in the Tender stage. Bidders have until 1st November 2019 to submit their proposals, with the contract period projected to commence on 31st January 2022 and conclude on 1st February 2028. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in systems integration and engineering services to engage with the UK's Ministry of Defence. As a significant investment programme aimed at providing advanced tactical communications systems for the Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force, it encourages companies capable of collaborative design and integration to apply. Firms with experience in managing complex engineering projects and those able to adapt to technological changes will find this opportunity particularly relevant for growth. ## Notice MORPHEUS is a PS3.2 billion programme delivering the next generation of Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (TacCIS) to the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. The objective of MORPHEUS is to provide a single information environment through a fully integrated operational information system which is seamless from the barracks, headquarters to the individual soldier, and based on an open, delaminated architecture. The MOD will be the Design Authority with the ability to procure system elements in a modular fashion via a disaggregated supply chain. This will give the Authority greater flexibility to evolve the system in line with changes in technology, policy and the operational environment. To realise the new MORPHEUS capability, the Authority requires a Systems Integrator (SI) to lead on the design and integration of the MORPHEUS products and services for applications, infrastructures and networks. The full SI Statement of Requirement will be released at the ITN stage but within the MORPHEUS Future Operating Model (FOM), the SI is expected to work collaboratively with the rest of the FOM and is likely to have the following key roles and responsibilities: a. develop, control and direct the Operational Service Management (OSM) process and provide the OSM focal point for users; b. develop detailed technical designs, in conjunction with Managed Service Providers (MSPs), to evolve and adapt the system architecture and baselines in response to capability roadmaps, technology innovation, emerging user needs, system threats and / or system obsolescence; c. manage the end-to-end process from MORPHEUS system design through change implementation to fielding; d. provide sub-system requirements, technical product specifications and statements of work to MSPs and manage MSP progress and outputs; e. maintain and control the configuration of the MORPHEUS system architecture and technical baselines on behalf of the Authority, ensuring on-going system openness; f. lead on all system integration activities, including planning, management and system acceptance testing, ensuring the upgrade and deployment of an operationally stable system that meets system availability requirements; g. lead on and manage user training design and delivery; and h. support platform delivery teams through the provision of technical design assurance services to achieve certified platform designs.
