## Summary

The public procurement process is led by the Ministry of Defence, which has issued a tender titled "DInfoCom/0069 - Provision of Digital Project Support for Armed Forces Recruiting Programme". This initiative falls under the software programming and consultancy services category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently classified as complete, with the contract awarded to Methods Business and Digital Technology Limited. The original tender period concluded on 24 June 2019, and the contract is set to run from 5 August 2019 to 4 January 2020, with a total value of £261,090.

This contract serves as an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in digital project support, particularly those providing software solutions or consultancy services tailored to governmental needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete due to the nature and scale of the project. The involvement in the Armed Forces Recruitment Programme presents a chance for these businesses to enhance their portfolio by collaborating on a strategically important initiative, thereby positioning themselves for future opportunities within defence and related sectors.

## Notice

The Armed Forces Recruitment Programme (AFRP) is a Category A, Government Major Projects Portfolio programme, responsible for the delivery of a single, common Tri-Service Recruiting Operating Model (ROM) for the Army, Navy and RAF from March 2022 onwards. The Programme started life in March 2018 as an Army programme; the Defence Board directed that AFRP become Tri-Service in December 2018. Whilst this offered the opportunity to achieve value for money through increased buying power and improved efficiency from a common approach, it significantly increased the complexity of the programme and the risk to delivering the Mandate. As a strategically important programme for Defence and in light of the current recruiting problems faced by all three Services, there is significant political and senior leadership interest in the programme. The requirement is for the "Digital Project", which will be responsible for identifying and documenting the data requirements of the new Tri-Service ROM. This will involve capturing the data, investigating and articulating customer and user needs, translating these needs into requirements to deliver the digital Statement of Requirement which might be delivered through the existing or a new digital solution. The recruitment system is the core critical business application and the products generated from this package of work will steer the high-level evidence-based decision for the future Armed Forces digital recruitment environment.
