## Notice

OPEN TO EXISTING DOS 5 FRAMEWORK APPLICANTS ONLY "There is a need to place data at the core of the enterprise to support better informed decision making and establish a 'Digital' culture in the Royal Navy. Whilst the partnership with DSTL provides the core data science capability to NDS, DSTL also supports a broad range of other users across Defence and Security and has limited capacity, and therefore cannot meet all necessary requests for support from the RN. The RN needs to develop organic DDAT expertise in order to self-sustain and deliver effective solutions to future opportunities and threats. Collaboration with DSPP is required to achieve this."
