This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as software package and information systems. The tender stage is active, with the submission deadline set for 31st August 2020. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st January 2021 and conclude on 30th December 2022, with an estimated value of £1,220,000. The delivery addresses will be primarily located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in software development and systems integration, to expand their portfolio in the defence sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is designed to be accessible to them. Companies that can provide robust solutions for requirements management, ensuring a clear presentation and effective audit trail, will be particularly well-suited to compete in this process. ## Notice Requirements management is a fundamental part of the MOD Acquisition System Operating Model to maintain the Golden Thread. The Golden Thread is defined as the unbroken, top-down linkage of requirements from Defence policy to Defence Lines of Development outputs, that provides the direction for investment plans and ensures that the capabilities generated are coherent and consistent with MOD's strategic investment. The use of a requirement management tool is recommended for clear presentation and to help with traceability "and "should be used for capturing and managing all User and Systems Requirements to a common minimum standard, to ensure an effective audit trail across the interface". The tool will be used across multiple defence organisations including all front-line commands, Joint Forces Command and their agencies, with the predominant focus within DE&S. The tool is a core component for Requirements Management and Engineering activities within DE&S Projects.
