The procurement process involves a competitive Negotiated procedure with 2 LOTS. The expected Contract Award date is June/July 2023, with an anticipated total value of up to £100M for the initial 2-year duration. The framework allows for further mini-competitions and the introduction of additional LOTS. The contracting authority will select a maximum of ten suppliers for each LOT to proceed to the next phase of the competition. This tender for platform and innovation services by the Ministry of Defence presents an opportunity for businesses in the software development industry. Companies offering COTS/MOTS supported platforms and tools for modelling and simulation are well-suited to compete. Businesses capable of meeting the technical thresholds and demonstrating past relevant work are encouraged to participate. The tender process allows for potential growth opportunities with extensions and mini-competitions, providing a platform for companies to showcase their expertise and secure contracts within the public procurement landscape. ## Notice The Authority has a developing requirement for a new framework to procure platform and innovation services. The intent of the framework is to provide a choice of Platforms that will meet the requirement of new and emerging use cases seeking to develop modelling and simulation applications. The Framework shall have an initial duration of 24 Months with an Option to extend for a further 12 Months. All Call Off Contracts may have a maximum duration of 5 Years. The Framework has an anticipated Contract Award date of June/July 2023. The competition shall follow the DSPCR 2011 competitive Negotiated procedure and shall consist of 2 LOTS.
