## Summary

The public procurement process involves the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE, seeking a Service Design Partner for the "Provision of DLMC Service Design Partner" project. This contract, valued at £1,980,180, is classified under computer-related services and is located in the South East of England. The procurement method employed is selective, with a contract period commencing on 28th June 2021 and concluding on 27th June 2023. The tender period ended on 7th May 2021, and the award was made on 2nd June 2021.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in service design and digital solutions, particularly those adept at agile methodologies and collaborative work with government teams. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in user-centric design, digital transformation, and IT services would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders, given their potential for innovation and flexibility in meeting the Ministry's service delivery needs.

## Notice

Following an agile delivery approach, DLMC now needs to deliver Discovery phases to detail user needs and fully document the problems that are to be resolved by delivery of the eight digital services that have been endorsed. Once the problem space has been clarified and detailed, the Service Design Partner will be required to identify candidate solutions to meet the needs, working alongside existing DLMC, TAFMIS and DLE teams to deliver Alpha phases. Feedback from users will be captured and fed back into the development of prototype solutions for each of the eight digital services. This evidence will form the basis for subsequent FBCs to the Approving Authority seeking transition of each DLMC's eight services into Beta development, then live.
