## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has initiated a planning stage tender titled "RFI0028 ANALYSIS OF SAFETY CRITICAL DATA HELD IN NAVY LESSONS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (NLIMS)". The procurement process involves analysing safety critical data in NLIMS, which is essential for organisational learning. The engagement end date for this tender is set for 15th December 2023, with the buyer being located in Portsmouth, England. The procurement falls under the industry category of Data analysis services, with the tender status currently in the planning stage.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in data analysis services to potentially grow their operations. SMEs with expertise in data analysis and software tools development are well-suited to compete for this contract. The Ministry of Defence requires capabilities to analyse 37,000 safety critical data records for organisational learning purposes, suggesting a need for innovative solutions in data analysis and security. Businesses offering technology solutions for organisational learning in critical data management may find this tender particularly relevant for business expansion.

## Notice

The current Navy Lessons Information Management System (NLIMS) is due to be retired, either through development of a new NLIMS database in Project KRAKEN's Foundry Data Integration and Analytics Platform or adoption of a derivative of the Defence Unified Reporting and Learning System (DURALS). NLIMS holds safety critical data in approx. 37,000 records. These records will not be transferred upon retirement and therefore Navy Command requires a provision to learn from these legacy records. Capacity, security, and software tools to analyse these records in a meaningful way for organisational learning shall be required to meet 1SL's legal and moral duty of care.
