This procurement falls under the Added-value database services industry category. The planning stage includes an engagement end date of 25th January 2023. The Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, England, is the contracting authority for this procurement opportunity. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in system integration and COTS software to compete for delivering a pan-Defence Engineering Through Life Support capability. The procurement process seeks a Systems Integrator to manage the introduction of the solution and incremental deployment over three releases. Businesses with expertise in official-sensitive and secret data management are encouraged to participate in this competitive process that aims to enhance Defence Support activities and support more than 100,000 users across the Defence Support Network. ## Notice Please see the additional information field for an update regarding the Security requirement for DEEAMS. 1. Description The DES Digital delivery team within Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) is preparing to initiate a competitive procurement process to award a contract for a new Defence Equipment Engineering and Asset Management System (DEEAMS). DEEAMSs will provide a pan-Defence Engineering Through Life Support (ETLS) capability. It will rationalise the existing fragmented IT application landscape not only replacing the 3-core domain Equipment & Asset & Management Systems (JAMES, UMMS, Goldesp) but also a substantial number (20+) of bespoke applications and paper-based systems. DEEAMS will address a significant scope of activity within Defence Support specifically Engineering and Equipment Support, which includes Maintenance & Repair, Engineering Planning, Obsolescence, Technical Information, Safety Management, enhancing and expanding the capabilities of the current Equipment & Asset Management (E&AM) applications. These activities are serviced by more than 100,000 users across the Defence Support Network comprising MoD, Civil Servants, and Industry partners. The DEEAMS procurement seeks a Systems Integrator (SI) to deliver an ETLS capability configured from Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software. The SI will manage the introduction of the solution into service including data migration from legacy systems, integration with other MOD systems, DEEAMS system acceptance and assurance. The SI will also deliver a core basic training package for further development by a third party. Support is required during the incremental deployment of the solution over three releases (excluding help desk support, which will be provided by Defence Digital) and for one year following delivery of the final release, including the handover of appropriate data and knowledge transfer to facilitate downstream support by a third party. It should be noted that this contract will cover the initial licencing of the software for the duration of the SI contract. The role of the SI will effectively cease at this point, and the Authority will provide training and subsequent In-Service support (including licencing & change management) for the system via alternative arrangements. The contract excludes any user devices, which are to be covered under separate arrangements. Additional information: DEEAMS Prior Information Notice 3 Please be advised that following publication of the DEEAMS PIN dated 26 October 2022, there has been a change to the security classification of the proposed contract. The DEEAMS solution, and provider, has a mandatory requirement to facilitate, manage and support data at both Official-Sensitive and Secret classifications. This requirement includes the environments Defence operates in, where engineering maintenance tasks will be conducted during planned and unplanned disconnection from effective communications and core services. Disconnection can be for extended periods of time. Accordingly, the Authority is informing all potential Bidders that the security requirements within the DEEAMS Invitation To Negotiate is now at Secret level. Please note this change does not impact on the other details provided at the Industry Day held on 23 November 2022 and in the subsequent briefing pack. Bidders who were unable to attend the Industry Day can request a copy of the briefing pack by e-mailing a request to Nick Clarke at DESDIGITAL-DEEAMSMailbox@mod.gov.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c78c3c3-17ae-4c94-a17e-eafb4c834374 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Jan 2023 | | 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 - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72321000 - Added-value database services - 72322000 - Data management services ## Release History - 19 Dec 2022 at 13:32 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c78c3c3-17ae-4c94-a17e-eafb4c834374 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c78c3c3-17ae-4c94-a17e-eafb4c834374 19th December 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
