This contract will span five years, commencing on 1st April 2022 and concluding on 31st March 2027, with potential for an extension. The procurement is classified under the information technology services industry, specifically addressing the need for Contractor Logistic Support for multimedia services on naval platforms. The end date for the submission of tenders is set for 7th November 2021, with clarification questions accepted until 24th October 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in integrated logistic support and maintenance services for maritime equipment. Companies specialising in information technology, particularly those focused on broadcasting and communication services, would be well-positioned to compete. Firms that can ensure full financial transparency and compliance with the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 will find this procurement particularly relevant to their capacity for growth within government contracts. ## Notice Navy Command Head Quarters (NCHQ) and Defence Digital (DD) have an enduring requirement to ensure Contractor Logistic Support (CLS), to all welfare services, is maintained on applicable surface and subsurface platforms. The three main functions of the Future MMM contract will be to: a) Provide Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) for in-service Orbit TV (the TVRO capability that receives the SSVC British Forces Broadcast Service from satellites) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027; b) Provide ILS for in-service SRE (the ships distribution system for TV and Radio services) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027; and c) Provide ILS for in-service Wi-Fi (Welfare Wi-Fi allows sailors to access the internet in their messes) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027. The new contract for the Future Support to Maritime Multimedia Equipment on RN Platforms will ensure that all the above services are supported for the five-year period (with one option year). The transition period shall be included within the Contract term. The remaining spares for the Orbit solution have already being procured by the incumbent supplier, however the new supplier will need to complete an inventory of this equipment to capture the condition of the Orbit, SRE and Wi-Fi equipment. This will enable configuration management to be maintained through the contract period. The Supplier will be responsible, in full or in part, for the following high-level activities: a - Ongoing support of MMM Equipment (including WiFi Equipment that will be procured through a separate contract - this will require the winning supplier to work alongside the winner of the Welfare WiFi Equipment requirement). b - Configuration Management c -Training Quantity or scope: as per II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024967-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | CORSHAM | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN13 9NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Corsham Ladbrook | | Westminster constituency | Chippenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 63122000 - Warehousing services - 72222300 - Information technology services - 72500000 - Computer-related services ## Release History - 6 Oct 2021 at 21:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024967-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mod-contracting-purchasing-and-finance-e-procurement-system - https://suppliercyberprotection.service.xgov.uk/ - https://www.contracts.mod.uk - https://www.contracts.mod.uk/web/login.html - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
