## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking a development partner for the P3M Release 4 project, aimed at enhancing their P3M system, particularly in areas such as Earned Value Management (EVM), cost management, and Business Intelligence reports. The procurement method employed is a selective tender using a restricted procedure for services, with a contract value of £1,685,100. The contract period commenced on 11th November 2020 and will conclude on 30th June 2022. The location for project delivery is within the South West region of the United Kingdom, emphasizing the need for local suppliers with relevant expertise.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and project control techniques, particularly those experienced in configuring Oracle-based products like Unifier and P6. Companies, especially SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), with a background in agile development and the ability to deliver enterprise-level solutions in secure environments will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The successful supplier will also have the chance to provide ongoing support, enhancing their growth and presence in the public sector.

## Notice

DE&S now has a requirement for a development partner to further develop its P3M system in particular in the areas of EVM, cost management, forecasting, interfaces to other systems and additional Business Intelligence (BI) reports. The development partner will work with DE&S and its Platform Manager to enhance the system using an agile development approach. There are several capability enhancements planned, the majority of which will involve the configuration of Unifier. DE&S is looking for a development partner with experience of configuring our P3M Oracle-based product suite, particularly Unifier/P6 following an agile development approach. They must also be familiar with project control techniques such as EVM, forecasting and have a track record of successfully delivering enterprise level solutions in a secure environment. The selected development partner will become the Solution Architect for the tool suite and be invited to provide adoption support and an application help desk service. The supplier will need to work with an existing Platform Manager to manage releases of capability onto the production system
