This tender falls under the category of Database and Operating Software Packages and aims to modernise support through its Business Modernisation for Support (BMfS) initiative. Interested parties should note the engagement end date on 28th March 2022, which marks the deadline for submitting budgetary estimates and confirming the viability of proposed options related to the delivery of the programme. The contract will involve service locations in the UK and various overseas territories. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data tools and analytics services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in database management, data analysis, and security software will find this procurement especially relevant, as it seeks to enhance the MOD's capabilities in these areas. Engaging in this early market engagement phase could pave the way for SMEs to establish themselves as key service providers within the defence sector, aligning their offerings with the MOD's strategic objectives. ## Notice The MOD has developed a pan-Defence strategy to modernise support, namely 'Business Modernisation for Support' (BMfS). We are currently conducting Early Market Engagement with this RFI focussed on suppliers of Data Tools and Analytics Services. This RFI seeks to obtain a range of budgetary estimates for the delivery of this programme and confirm the viability of options under consideration. Both will in turn assist with the formation of the MOD's Outline Business Case. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfee7b05-cbca-4d4f-813f-93c76b7aa628 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Mar 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48600000 - Database and operating software package - 48610000 - Database systems - 48611000 - Database software package - 48612000 - Database-management system - 48613000 - Electronic data management (EDM) - 48614000 - Data-acquisition system - 48732000 - Data security software package - 72212600 - Database and operating software development services - 72212610 - Database software development services - 72300000 - Data services - 72315000 - Data network management and support services - 72315100 - Data network support services - 72315200 - Data network management services - 72316000 - Data analysis services - 72317000 - Data storage services - 72318000 - Data transmission services - 72319000 - Data supply services - 72320000 - Database services - 72321000 - Added-value database services - 72322000 - Data management services - 72330000 - Content or data standardization and classification services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2022 at 17:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfee7b05-cbca-4d4f-813f-93c76b7aa628 - 16 Feb 2022 at 16:07 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5ca56c3-8c6a-41d8-ac61-7b2f58e8e8e0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfee7b05-cbca-4d4f-813f-93c76b7aa628 7th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5ca56c3-8c6a-41d8-ac61-7b2f58e8e8e0 16th February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=53479 Link to MOD - DSP RFI ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
