This procurement, classified under 'Command and control system' within the services category, is in the Award stage, having made an active award on 5th September 2018. The contract is valued at £40,000,000, with a minimum threshold of £10,000,000, and covers a period from 21st September 2018 to 31st December 2021. Interested bidders should note that the tender closed on 7th February 2018, as this was a limited procedure negotiated without prior publication. This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the technology and defence sectors, particularly those with expertise in developing software applications for geospatial and command systems. Companies that can deliver adaptable solutions for various computing platforms and integrate with existing military frameworks will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with the Ministry of Defence could lead to further contracts and partnerships, expanding business growth within the public procurement space. ## Notice The BMA is a suite of one or more software applications and services providing Geospatial Services, Operating Picture and Mission Planning for commanders at all levels. Users may be located in fixed or deployed headquarters, mobile platforms (vehicles) or dismounted (on the soldier). Computing platforms will vary from well performing PCs through laptops to tablets and smaller mobile devices. Network infrastructure will include high and low bandwidth (wired and wireless) bearers utilising HF, VHF and UHF bands. The BMA shall be developed to take full, but appropriate, advantage of the services provided by the Evolve to Open (EvO) Tactical Integration Framework (TIF) to optimise operation over the network and to make use of common core services. Additionally, the BMA will provide a subset of the common core services as part of the TIF for use by other client applications. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1367c71-6649-4f5b-9ba4-8b2ad043edbc | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Sep 2018 | | Contract period | 20 Sep 2018 - 31 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £40,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ELBIT SYSTEMS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 42961000 - Command and control system - 72416000 - Application service providers ## Release History - 12 Nov 2018 at 16:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1367c71-6649-4f5b-9ba4-8b2ad043edbc - 12 Nov 2018 at 16:48 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/30e9e0cc-ed14-4c61-b860-5519ed5e89fe - 16 Feb 2018 at 14:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/30e9e0cc-ed14-4c61-b860-5519ed5e89fe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1367c71-6649-4f5b-9ba4-8b2ad043edbc 12th November 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/30e9e0cc-ed14-4c61-b860-5519ed5e89fe 12th November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/53acd238-f16f-49ad-aac2-30d388914c4a MORPHEUS Battlefield Management Application Tender Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7a5363b4-0714-4fab-aed7-55bb705d29bb MORPHEUS Battlefield Management Application Tender Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ecdde762-eea2-4950-a09b-6cdacc2fa8f1 BMA Final Contract Schedules - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/28ee7c02-6168-4730-b4b4-6360a64913ba BMA Main Body Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b0ce2116-4902-4e81-ba9d-e91aea5020a7 BMA Final Statement of Requirement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
